New Piccadilly line trains will have air-conditioning and walk-through carriages (Image: Siemens Mobility) The rollout of “state-of-the-art” Piccadilly line trains has been delayed by up to a year. Transport for London (TfL) has blamed the setback on the “complexity” of integrating the new fleet with existing infrastructure. New trains, the first of which was originally scheduled to enter service at the end of this year, will now not be running until the second half of 2026.

Rizwan Goni, who lives in Shirley Gardens, was given the ticket late in the evening of May 21 while he was watching the Europa League final at home. It comes after Barking and Dagenham Council started to enforce dropped kerb restrictions, effectively preventing anyone without a waiver from parking outside their own homes. Although Mr Goni has a waiver, this is only valid for his father’s car, which means he risks a fine every time he parks one of his own cars outside his driveway.

First opened in 1987, the railway has grown into a series of interconnecting routes over the years, stretching from the City to south east London. Initially built to serve the Docklands in the hope of spurring redevelopment in the area, the first trains ran from Tower Gateway or Stratford to Island Gardens. The trains were fully automated and driverless, giving passengers the opportunity to pretend to be a train driver for the day (let’s be honest, we’ve all done it).
