The New Piccadilly Line Trains Are Being Constructed

The New 2024 Tube Stock is being built at Siemen's Railway Village in Goole, in the East Riding Of Yorkshire, and there was a press event to get close up and see how the new Tube Trains are being built ...

With thanks to Siemens for use of drone footage

Hearing the word ‘gubbins’ gives me a little joy in 2024.

Jade the Apprentice engineer showing the wiring; she was excellent, she was so professional and relaxed on camera and knows her stuff, good job Jade.

As a frequent Picadilly line user, it's gonna be wild to see the 73 stock for the last time, and then seeing these for the first time at my local station

"here at siemens, we like to do things properly" made me laugh, after the new siemens trains we got at my company in germany last year, with screens in the drivers cab installed upside down and switches installed the wrong way around 😅

These sure are good trains but the 1973 stocks will always have a place in my heart.

Tech details like the HVAC and body crash resistance are what make me watch a Geoff video. ❤

Geoff, you are always so enthusiastic in all your videos but this one especially. It is transmitted to the builders you speak to at the factory and what’s ready Important is the enthusiasm show by those employed by Siemens to build the trains in Goole.

I didn't realise how worn out the current picadilly line trains were until recently, couldn't believe it when I saw how yellowed the white paint on the trains had become. These new trains are much needed, lets get them on the bakerloo as well!

Geoff looking rather dapper in the suit and it’s a video about my favourite Tube Line

Great video! As I’m sure I’ve mentioned before, I grew up very near Goole. Many of my friends live nearby. It’s always been somewhere with loads of potential and sadly a negative reputation. The boost this factory has given the local economy as a whole is wonderful and will continue to have a ripple effect for years to come. The trains look great too, as does the suit!

The bogieless cars just blows my mind. Any chance you can do a video on how the IMs are connected/suspended?

Even though the 1973 Stock trains are my childhood and have enjoyed growing up riding them for many years, like they say all good things at some point must come to an end and I cannot wait to try out the new Piccadilly Line trains when they hit the tracks. It’s also my favourite Tube line which is more reason for me to be excited 🙂

Awesome video Geoff! I’m very much looking forward to riding on the new Piccadilly Line trains when they come into service.

As someone who works on Engineering and Manufacturing apprenticeships, it was great to see an apprenticeship working on this project, and im sure there are more there.

[Lilianne]

Taking a moment to appreciate your video work. It's looking very good, I like all the little additions to the interviews to break them up. All the years I've watched your videos I've not been back to the UK, so it's lovely to see the change through them.

Great to see these trains being built in Yorkshire! Hopefully we secure more orders for other stock that needs replacing soon! The Central line could really use that Aircon haha

[nathanielrosa]

Great work from the Mayor on lobbying for a future purchase order!

[jj]

The new trains look absolutely fresh can’t wait to ride on one!

Awesome video Geoff, thanks for bringing us along! They seem like a lovely bunch of people at the Goole factory, great news for the community there :)
