+| Bankhead Station | Platform | The current platform at Bankhead Station can only accommodate 2-car trains, but has a provision to be expandable up to 4-cars. The current plan is to renovate the station entirely to accommodate 8-car trains - same as the rest of the system. |
 | Hapeville Branch | South of East Point Station. Just past Irene Kidd Pkwy. | Just north of the tunnel portals there is some grading to the sides of the tracks for a branch that would've extended east along Central Ave to downtown Hapeville. |
 | East Line Extension | East of Indian Creek Station. | Empty concrete trackbeds just east of the platforms at Indian Creek suggest a crossover was intended there, likely for a further eastward extension of the line. |

 | Summerhill Branch | Under Garnett Station. | There is a pocket track under Garnett station used for inserting trains into service at Five Points. This was possibly intended for a proposed short spur south to what was then Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium. |
