The new Piccadilly line train arrived in London for testing but was damaged by graffiti during its trip. This incident highlights its high-profile status in the tagging community.
The train was reportedly targeted by vandals who were aware of its route, possibly while it was stopped at Latchmere Junction. A bounty was rumored to be offered for tagging the train.
Despite the defacement, the paint was removed upon arrival at the depot and did not damage the train's surface. The British Transport Police are currently investigating the incident.
This first batch of new trains promises improved services for the Piccadilly line, with 95 air-conditioned units ordered and manufacturing split between Germany and the UK.
