The Piccadilly Line is getting New Tube Trains! Built by Siemens, they'll be in passenger service in 2025. We got an invite out to their test track acility in Germany to go and have a ride on the first one off of the production line. A total of 94 trains are on order, with half of them being made at a new Siemens factory at Goole in Yorkshire. I made a visit to the Goole factory last year, which you can watch here: NOTE: We were all restricted to seeing just the front carriage of the train, which meant we couldn't go and see one of the shorter carriages, nor check out the accessible area of the train which we would've liked to have seen. MUSIC: “Wish You Were Here“ by Dyalla and Joakim Karud CAMERA: Thanks to Tony Miles for holding my camera for the interview with Dave!
