  abstract     = {{The AWAKE Run 1 experiment achieved electron acceleration to 2 GeV using plasma wakefield acceleration driven by 400 GeV, self-modulated proton bunches from the CERN SPS. The Run 2c phase of the experiment aims to build on these results by demonstrating acceleration to ~10 GeV while preserving the quality of the accelerated electron beam. To realize this, there will be an additional plasma cell, to separate the proton bunch self-modulation and the electron acceleration. A new 150 MeV beamline is required to transport and focus the witness electron beam to a beam size of several microns at the injection point. This specification is designed to preserve the beam emittance during acceleration, also requiring micron-level stability between the driver and witness beams. To facilitate these changes, the Run 1 proton transfer line will be reconfigured to shift the first plasma cell 40 m downstream. The Run 1 electron beamline will be adapted and used to inject electron bunches into the first plasma cell to seed the proton bunch self-modulation. Proposed adjustments to the proton transfer line and studies for the designs of the two electron transfer lines are detailed in this contribution.}},
