The Piccadilly Line is slated for closure in 2024 as part of Transport for London's (TfL) 2.9 billion upgrade project. The new trains, in partnership with Siemens Mobility, are expected to enhance infrastructure and testing, with service anticipated by 2025.
Mayor Sadiq Khan mentioned that the closures for upgrades and new train testing are in the planning stages, with an extensive customer communication plan being devised. Additionally, TfL is committed to increasing the number of trains to improve service by 2027.
TfL's progress on the Piccadilly Line upgrade remains promising, aiming for the first new train to be tested in 2024 and operational by 2025. Siemens is investing significantly in their facility, contributing to job growth in the UK, including direct and supply chain roles.
