On Manchester Metrolink, it's looking like it will be four years or more from completion of the Trafford Park line and the bay platform at Crumspall before the intended Crumpsall-Trafford Centre service starts. I suppose we have the pandemic to thank for that.

What other examples are there of infrastructure enhancements being built with a specific service enhancement in mind, and then there being a much longer time than expected between the infrastructure being complete and the enhanced service starting?

This could be caused for any reason - doesn't have to be COVID-related (I'm sure there will be examples of infrastructure changes going unused because the corresponding rolling stock isn't yet ready, for example)
