| - Plans for a metro route to Lucien Island had been in place from 1991CE but had been considered not viable due to the cost of constructing a new medium depth tunnel across Ashalind Sound . With no summer transport connections apart from the ferry at Port Blondspoint , the town of Princecastle-At-Lucien remained sure to be isolated, until 1995CE when new proposals were put forth. With the new mixed-use aerodrome under construction at Bytan and the recent residential development of Mapleview, the Metropolitan Mayoral Parliament gave permission for a new metro line with a further spur extending to Lucien Island. Authority to begin construction was given in February of 1996CE, with the main tunnel being dug from the medium depth Hayfields Line at Hayfields Station under Ablewhite Bay to a newly built surface station in Mapleview. Due to delays in construction (namely several serious flooding incidents), the Hayfields-Mapleview route was not completed until July of 1999CE. This meant that the Bytan spur was not operational until 2000CE, eighteen months after the aerodrome had opened. A temporary expansion of the aerodrome’s water bus terminus had to be set up in order to deal with the lack of any metro line, causing major disruption for the new aviation hub. The final spur to Lucien Island was finished in December of 2001CE, complete with a major redevelopment of Princecastle-At-Lucien town centre.
