Piccadilly line to get “state of the art” trains in 2026
The Piccadilly line is set to get new “state-of-the-art” trains in 2026, promising to “provide more space, better comfort, new CCTV and more overall capacity.” The new trains will begin testing on the railway in the summer
The new Piccadilly line trains, TfL says, “will transform journeys for millions of customers on one of the Underground’s busiest lines” when they begin operating in the second half of 2026. These trains promise to offer ten percent more capacity, walk-through air-conditioned carriages, wider double doorways for easier boarding, and on-board CCTV for added security. These trains will also be lighter than existing designs, which TfL says will make them “more energy efficient” allow them to “provide a smoother ride for customers, consuming 20 per cent less energy.”
