The first new Piccadilly Line train has finally arrived in London

The first new Piccadilly Line train has finally arrived in London, but not without some drama—it's already covered in graffiti! 🚋💥

Transport for London (TfL) has invested nearly £3 billion to upgrade the Piccadilly Line, bringing in 94 brand-new trains featuring walk-through carriages, air conditioning (yes, even underground!), digital display screens, and more. Around 20% of these sleek new trains are being assembled in Vienna, with the rest coming from Siemens’ new factory in Goole, Yorkshire.

But as the first train was making its way from Vienna, it got an unexpected makeover near Latchmere rail junction. Now, British Transport Police are on the case.

This first train is set for a year of rigorous testing before entering service next year. And with this upgrade, TfL plans to boost the Piccadilly Line’s peak frequencies to 36 trains an hour! Stay tuned for more updates on this big change for London’s underground.

When you said upgrade the Piccadilly line you showed northern or jubilee stock

The exact same thing happened to the Class 707 when they arrived into London years ago.

I hope they fit the tunnels. What happens to the heat pushed out by the AC?

Nice lucky me cause im flying to London in 2025

Why London. Underground had to order trains from Siemens with design like Russian Moskva 2024 trains. Why not order these trains from British manufacturers?

Comfortably the dumbest comments section on YouTube.

IMHO such an ugly train can´t be impaired by anything.

The trains may cost £3billion but the seats will be like sitting on an ironing board, very uncomfortable on a longer journey rather than a couple of stops. Crossrail trains are a prime example of truly dreadful uncomfortable seating. I hope London transport runs out of money and the Bakerloo line trains are never replaced in my life time. However air conditioning is an advantage as long as it works when the train breaks down, they will! I don’t know why LT bother will cloth seats, they may as well have McDonalds plastic seating, there’s not much to chose between the two and the plastic seats might be cleaner.

In Yorkshire we still have trains with seats out of destroyed busses from over a 100 years screw London 😡
