No Piccadilly line yesterday, but... I did get to see the new tube stock in person for the first time. Spotted them running tests at Acton Town.

They seem lighter and quieter. Love the new maquette! The stock is said to enter service later this year.

That same 700 train:

"The blaze began underneath railway arches in Roxeth Green Avenue in South Harrow around 1am.

"London Fire Brigade (LFB) deployed 100 firefighters and 15 fire engines to contain the fire, which was under control by 4am.

"There are no reports of injuries."
