The international stations of the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) allow images with sub-arcsecond resolution to be achieved at MHz frequencies. This enables a variety of science cases, including (but not limited to) studies of jets, morphological classification of high-redshift targets, and identification of radio-quiet AGN. Observations for the LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey (LoTSS) often include the international stations, but the current strategy does not calibrate these stations. I will describe ongoing efforts by the LOFAR long-baseline working group to produce an automated pipeline that can post-process LoTSS data and re-image a large portion of the survey fields at high resolution.
