Anyone who lives along the Piccadilly line is probably well used to disruption by now. The dark blue tube line has faced closures nearly every other weekend since January and, we hate to break it to you, those closures are going to continue for another six months.
The Piccadilly line will see more disruption almost every fortnight from now until mid-October. Major stations including King’s Cross St Pancras, Hammersmith, Heathrow and Leicester Square will all be affected.
It’s not ideal, but the disruption should be worth it. It’s needed in order for TfL to carry out £2.9bn work on the line that’ll help prepare it for a brand new fleet of trains arriving later this year.
Those 94 swish new trains will feature air-con, wider doorways, enhanced digital displays, walk-through carriages and all-new seating fabric (take a sneak peak here). They’ll replace the 86 trains that have been serving the dark blue line since 1975 and are set to start being rolled out towards the end of this year.
To accomodate the incoming vehicles, TfL will be adjusting platform edges and track positions, upgrading the power system and updating signalling along the line. Once they’re in service, the number of Piccadilly trains through central London could be boosted from 24 to 27 an hour.
So, take note of the next six months of Piccadilly line closures below.
