 Merging saves the platform for turning back North Coast Line trains, giving it to AT Metro 2209 service terminating trains. Then, the congestion will be largely relieved. The project is initiated as the early work of WLT Line 2, including the crossings and a pair of 700m tracks west of [[/spawn_station|Spawn]] station, and was done on 3 May 2023. The progress of the sections between Spawn station and [[/forest_peak_station|Forest Peaks]] station, [[/orakei_west_station|Ōrākei West]] station and [[/toitoi_station|Toitoi]] station are also going well. Merging saves the platform for turning back North Coast Line trains, giving it to AT Metro 2209 service terminating trains.

 +As Tsim Pei Tsui Peninsula east of Eden, south of Kallos and New Buckingham, north of Yunlong was not served by any means of transport (before the Highlands Line was proposed and built), and **Line 2 (Kwong Pak Kwun Line)** fleet is expected to be in a large surplus even when operating at ultimate peak hour frequency, it is proposed to expand [[/makki_memorial_village_station|Makki Memorial Village station]] to fit an eastbound platform in, then extend the line in 105° heading, tunnel under Lilac Light Rail tracks and turn to heading east again, finally arrive at the Peninsula after crossing the ocean east of [[/hung_shan_station|Hung Shan station]].

 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 since 2024 December, another set has started regular service since 2025 April. Remaining 3 sets started regular service since trains enter eastern extension section for testing. Originally, the fleet was planned to include 3 sets of Shanghai Metro Trains 01A06 previously running on the North Coast Line.

-Due to the platforms in [[/cyanex|Cyan Twilight Line]]((80m long)) can only accomodate 4-car 4-door trains, trains through-running to Cyan Twilight Line and Bond Line need to consist of only 4 cars rather than 5 cars. For promotion of direct access to the Sightseeing Line network, Cyanex Rapid Transit [[/chi|CXD104]] (previously running on Sightseeing Line, replaced by CXD107) is chosen to be the sole rolling stock used for 4-car trains. The first batch of 15 sets 4-car trains are replaced with ABB traction, for diversifying the traction brand used and also for softer traction sound. The last batch of 10 sets 4-car trains are equipped with Bombardier //Mitrac (TC1110 series)// traction, similar to the one on most Chinese trains built in 2000s or 2010s with Bombardier designed traction. +Due to the platforms in [[/cyanex|Cyan Twilight Line]] can only accomodate 4B train formation, trains through-running to Cyan Twilight Line and Bond Line need to consist of only 4 cars rather than 5 cars.

-As Tsim Pei Tsui Peninsula east of Eden, south of Kallos and New Buckingham, north of Yunlong was not served by any means of transport (before the Highlands Line was proposed and built), and **Line 2 (Kwong Pak Kwun Line)** fleet is expected to be in a large surplus even when operating at ultimate peak hour frequency, it is proposed to expand [[/makki_memorial_village_station|Makki Memorial Village station]] to fit an eastbound platform in, then extend the line in 105° heading, tunnel under Lilac Light Rail tracks and turn to heading east again, finally arrive at the Peninsula after crossing the ocean east of [[/hung_shan_station|Hung Shan station]].  +
- +
-The line will add three stops, Hung Shan, Lung Tau and Tsim Pei Tsui. Hung Shan will be an interchange station with Metro South Continental Line and Guri Bay Line while Tsim Pei Tsui will be another interchange station with [[/wlt_line_4|Line 4 (Elizabeth Line)]] besides the current West Lake station and proposed Toitoi station. +
