The MRT Lakeshore Line, or simply the Lakeshore Line, is one of the 21 lines of the New World MRT system.

History

The Lakeshore Line first appeared in Gamma MRT plans in 2014, as another name for MRT Marina Shuttle. The MRT line extension agenda item in January 2015 GSM included a possible extension to Daneburg at the coast of Lake 8 is via central-southern Gamma. However, the Marina Shuttle was never called that name officially.

In Zeta MRT plans by Frumple in April 2020, Lakeshore Line is now used for a line going across North Epsilon. It would inherit MRT Zephyr Line's tracks from Chalxior to Rank Resort then goes westwards into the northwestern tundra.

In June 2020 ISM, SimonScholar (called godzilltrain at this time) proposed the line, which went from Chalxior to Newbridge located in northwest Epsilon. It inherited tracks from MRT Zephyr Line, becoming the first line to do so, then new trackage from Rank Resort to Newbridge was built. It was completed in July 7, 2020 and opened in July 2020 GSM.

As part of the Zephyr/Lakeshore extensions, Lakeshore to Chalxior was severed and then Zephyr was connected to the viaduct in order to permit a northern extension to Oparia.

In order to extend the line north-east to Oparia and New Mackinaw in August/September 2021, some changes were made to Lakeshore Line around Chalxior. The line was cut back to L4 and rerouted north to Oparia and onwards. One of these,  L3 , was converted back to  ZN35 , the station number it had before it was transferred to Lakeshore Line. For a few days, you could ride Zephyr up to Newbridge and Lakeshore to Dand. To accommodate an eastern extension, L4-L36 were renamed to LW4-LW36 The extension to LE5 was constructed by autobus22 with help from many others and was completed on the September 16, 2021. The extension soft-opened later that day, with the official opening happening later, at the September 2021 ISM.

In September 2021 GSM, autobus22 was cleared to add an infill station in the extension between L0 and LE1 in response to demand due to the unique locations of the stations.

The old L1 and L2 stations remained in Chalxior with a stub track, before it was subsequently removed, despite autobus22 saying that it would stay for "historic purposes".

After the opening of Lakeshore East extension in September 2021, SimonScholar proposed an extension up to Zhong Guo, the first extension since being repromoted to Moderator in January 2022 GSM in February 2022 GSM, where staff approved the extension up to LE13 in order to allow future consideration whether to extend Lakeshore north to Zhong Guo or turn east to follow the shore. The extension opened in March 2022 GSM.

In the July 2022 ISM, pretzel33 and jay_planner proposed an extension of Lakeshore West to Las Playas. It was mostly built by DNAmaster10 and sponsored by Needn_NL. The extension opened in August 2022 GSM.

In the Zeta MRT line plans by Frumple, Lakeshore West would either go to the northwest or north, and it is marked as low-priority since Las Playas' location makes it a suitable terminus and Lakeshore East would be extended to serve Zhong Guo, Daly City and end in the northern border.

In October 2022 ISM, TheAllRounderMC and Skelezomperman proposed to extend Lakeshore East up to the northern border along the coast of Lake 34. It opened in January 29, 2023 following a ceremony at LE22 Station.

The MRT Lakeshore Line runs from  LW36  to  LE5 . It starts in Newbridge at  LW36 , then continues east via Risima Island, Rank Resort and Segav Sal. Just east of  LW4  the line used to continue east towards Chalxior Thondes station, but during the Lakeshore East extension, the line was curved north towards Oparia instead and then east towards New Mackinaw to finally terminate a few stations further north at  LE5 .

The Lakeshore Line was originally suggested to go from the MRT Marina to Lake 8, however in Frumple's Zeta MRT plans it was changed to go between Chalxior, Rank Resort and Newbridge. This was later adjusted to the current situation where the section to Chalxior was abandoned in favour of a new alignment towards Oparia and further onwards to the north-east.
