The part-closure of the Piccadilly line due to significant leaf fall has led Transport for London to apologize to customers, outlining the challenges faced during autumn.
Transport for London employs a robust action plan to minimize leaf fall impact, involving vegetation clearance and specialist engineering trains to address track safety.
Due to the slippery conditions caused by high volumes of leaves, Transport for London sometimes has to implement part-suspensions to protect train and passenger safety.
In 2025, new air-conditioned trains will be introduced across the Piccadilly line, which currently accounts for 10% of all Tube journeys in London.
