Dublin Line
Named the L line (for Livermore), it appears that this stretch of track will never actually make it to Livermore. The L line runs from outside Bay Fair station to the storage tracks past Dublin/Pleasanton station.
Almost the entirety of the L line is located in the median of Interstate 580, making for very loud station platforms. The distance between Castro Valley and West Dublin is about 7 miles - making it the longest distance between two stations, in the system.
The L line opened to revenue service on May 10, 1997. The only infill station,West Dublin/Pleasanton, opened in 2011.

West Dublin/Pleasanton
The title for the worst named BART station belongs to West Dublin/Pleasanton, which is habitually confused with Dublin/Pleasanton further down the line. This infill station opened on 2/19/2011 (44th station), and connects with employment, TOD housing, and the Stoneridge mall (of which is was purportedly going to be named, until various controversy). The station is an island platform with two entrances - one north to Dublin, and one south to Pleasanton and the mall.
