   * 5 May, 2024: First stage of merge kicks in.
   * 29 August, 2024: Full merge kicks in and throughrunning starts. Name is changed to account for a rather long throughrunning section in Sightseeing Line Phase 3, 4 comparing to Kwong Chow Line section.
+  * 31 May, 2025: Proposal of eastern extension from Makki Memorial Village to Tsim Pei Tsui is published.
   * 3 June, 2025: Trains are no longer stopping at Three Rivers station to reduce the travelling time from/to former North Coast Line stations.
+  * 10 August, 2025: See Tsuen station is renamed as See Tsuen (Heart of Let's Play) station and open to public.
+  * 28 August, 2025: Trains are now using the new platform 0 at Makki Memorial Village and carry out testing on the east extension part. Trains are also more frequent from that day onwards.
 ===== Rolling Stocks =====
-Similar to [[/wlt_line_1#rolling_stocks|Line 1 (Meyan Line)]], since turn radius is small between West Lake station and See Tsuen station in the final zig-zag lining plan, 4-door trains are used instead of 5-door trains that are currently running on North Coast Line. Existing 6 sets of 5-door C-Train with railway vision livery is gradually rebuilding to 5 sets of 4-door C-Train. 1 set of rebuilt C-Train has already transported to Chik Shek Wan Depot and started its passengers service on the shuttle between Kwong Chow and Sai Mo Island. 2 more sets of C-Train has also started passengers service after the first stage of merge. 1 more set of C-Train started regular service from 2024 December onwards.

-Originally, the fleet was planned to include 3 sets of Shanghai Metro Trains 01A06 previously running on the North Coast Line. However, as the trains are too tall for the tunnels, they are planned to retire instead as soon as North Coast Line merges with WLT Line 2. Alternatively, 5 sets of phase 2C M-Train will join the fleet, but with an overhaul in the propulsion system by Alstom, as DC motor is harder to maintenance and consumes more electricity. 1 set of them has already started regular service.
