The Piccadilly line's first new train was transported to a Siemens testing facility in GermanyThe first new Piccadilly Tube train to have rolled off the production line is being tested in Germany ready to replace the current 48-year-old trains.The line's existing trains have been in use since 1975 and are set to be replaced with the new models in 2025.
The new trains will increase capacity by about 10% and are also significantly lighter than existing designs, which will mean the trains are more energy efficient as well as providing a smoother ride, TfL says.
The site is currently in the final stages of fit-out, with recruitment well under way, ahead of production starting from early 2024.
