U1 is the oldest line and was most recently expanded in 2007 with further stops in Fürth, Früth Hardhöhe being the last. It's other endpoint continues to be Langwasser Süd, the first station ever to be built for the Nuremberg U-Bahn. U2 was started in the 1980s and its one terminus (Röthenbach) dates to that era while the other is the Airport and was reached in 1999. The U3 was only started in the 2000s with the first station opening for service a year after the last extension of U1 and an extension (Nordwestring, the Northern terminus for the time being) coming into service as recently as 2017. As of 2017, a further station for U3 is under construction along its Southern stretch and several more are planned. There is some debate about extensions of U1 in Fürth and U2 towards neighboring towns like Stein. On the other sides of all three lines, the current endpoints (Langwasser Süd, Airport and Nordwestring) are widely regarded as the final termini for the time being. Similar to the situation in Berlin but less markedly, U-Bahn extension is often a political football with the more right wing CSU often coming forward with rather ambitious expansion plans while the more leftist SPD Greens and Left Party tend to advocate for tram extension instead. However, despite the mayor being SPD, he relies on CSU votes for his majorities so usually some compromise is found, making many extensions of both tram and U-Bahn stuck in DevelopmentHell for quite a bit.
