Piccadilly Line Upgrade - engineering challenges and contributing Carbon NetZero 2030
29 Sep 2022 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM
Please join the Railway Civil Engineers' Association for this multidisciplinary hybrid lecture
The Piccadilly Line Upgrade (PLU) will provide new trains and associated infrastructure to modernise the Piccadilly Line. The PLU is split into two stages:
Stage 1, the introduction of a new rolling stock fleet and associated enabling works
Stage - a full upgrade of the Piccadilly Line signalling system to a modern digital network
PLU Stage 1 is a £2.8bn programme that will provide a new fleet of air-cooled modern trains for the Piccadilly Line with improved reliability, efficiency and accessibility, together with new and expanded maintenance and stabling facilities. Stage 1 will result in a 23% uplift in peak capacity with trains running at 27 trains per hour or a train every 2 minutes 13 seconds. Full introduction of the new fleet and the subsequent timetable uplift is planned for early to mid-2027.
The event organisers are arranging for this to be a hybrid event - online and in person at ICE, London
