The new Piccadilly line train undergoing tests at Siemens test facility in Germany.

[@Anonymoususer_2023]

Lucky Piccadilly Line getting new tube trains. Hopefully Bakerloo Line will also be getting new tube trains. Looks really nice.

[@VermyScrubs]

Last I heard, these trains are intended for the Piccadilly, Bakerloo, Central and W&C. They are only going to the Piccadilly first because of its status as an Airport Link.

[@GoingUnderground23]

Can’t wait to see them in service

[@AFCManUk]

Bit of an unfair test. That track is just one long loop, no super curvy bits in succession, and it's squeaky clean and perfectly level. Will be a whole different ball game when it's on the actual Piccadilly line tracks!

[@matteomaximum]

That's why they're going to be tested on the actual LU in the future

[@benjibatch]

Wish there was sound 😢

[@ScottPC]

There just that quiet...😂

[@dailymemez34]

[@philipbrailey]

Choo choo

[@BorisLu]

Awesome! Great video!

[@jacksugden8190]

Shame miss the 1973 stock when those hard to bare trains arrive, those hard seats again with seat deviders and door buzzers.

[@jeromebano1125]

I think everyone will miss the old trains like me I have good memories of travelling on them.

[@thel0calcousinMaxey-hx7xv]

More like shame to miss the 1972 stock

[@articeddie5494]

Very quite trains

[@Martin_TrainSpotter]

Awesome new units!

[@joshuahalla.k.a.controlla6333]

Nice 🔥 but no sound

[@darksars3622]

Hey you know, the chance of geoff marshal being on that tube train IS likey

[@williamwildcat]

Wow

[@canto_v12]

Wow. There are short cars and they have no wheels!!

[@zitzong]

Do they get driven through the Chanel tunnel from Germany to then go to the Piccadilly line depots

[@Oli_Guy]

I think they will be ferried to London via a ship

[@mrender666]

Would need to be shipped as they aren't designed for the high speeds needed to use the Channel Tunnel

[@polishstick0609]

​@@mrender666 They woudl be delivered through channel tunnel as an "freight" train

[@gnhansen29]

Is that a fourth rail track?

[@vaska00762]

It's a track which features two kinds of third rail, top contact which the train is using, and bottom contact, which is less commonly used, but looks like the kind of third rail used by the Berlin S-Bahn, likely for the testing of the Class 483 which was jointly built by Siemens and Stadler (Stadler has a factory in Berlin). Fourth Rail is likely too unusual to add to the test track for, especially if the trains can easily be adjusted to work between Fourth Rail and also 750V top contact third rail, which is common at least in parts of London.

[@neilcrawford8303]

Yes. The centre 4th rail is clearly visible in aerial shots on Geoff Marshall's vlog on these new trains.

[@nathansvlog]

@@vaska00762 What looks like a fourth rail can be seen from 0:34 in this video

[@busestransporta-z781]

Seen it before canceled in 2017
