This is the latest upgrade to the Piccadilly line - which boasts fully walkthrough carriages, air conditioning and CCTV. This fleet is being brought in to replace stock that has been in service since the 1970s.
The new trains have been taking a while to get on the track, though. Londoners were supposed to be riding them in late 2025, but now it's looking more like they'll be arriving anytime between December and next summer - TfL have previously said "complexities" of the work and safety concerns are the reasons for this.
🤔 But what about the equally as old Bakerloo line stock - could that get a facelift too? Head to our channel for the answer.

People living on Elder Street in Spitalfields said the vehicle kept reversing out of a cul-de-sac, making what one resident described as a “ridiculous mixture of a reversing noise and siren sound”.
Residents said the noise had been happening most mornings last week and because the street is in a conservation area, many homes do not have double glazing.
US firm Waymo, which plans to be operating a robo-taxi service in London by September, apologised "sincerely for any disruption caused".
