Liverpool Street trains disrupted after 'person hit by train' - live
Stay tuned for live updates and alternative travel options across London today
www.standard.co.ukHere are the latest notable updates on the Piccadilly Line:
- New Piccadilly Line trains have seen delays in their rollout. The rollout, originally planned for late 2025, has been pushed back with current expectations shifting toward 2026–2027. This reflects ongoing safety and technical testing before full introduction.[1]
- TfL has continued to run testing and partial service on the line while work proceeds, with some closures for track renewal and testing windows scheduled over coming months. The broader line remains operational during testing, but some segments will be affected by closures.[1]
- In early 2025, there were broader disruptions tied to leaf fall and older rolling stock, which spurred planned replacements. Officials have stated the new trains should improve reliability once fully introduced.[2][4]
