Tfl were testing the new Piccadilly line trains over the weekend, and luckily I managed to find some in the wild and get a few shots.

Here's the train arriving at Hammersmith London Underground station, I love how the lights look in the darkness.

When I rewatch my trailcam videos I occasionally spot something I missed the first time.

Watch our little porcupine. After being startled by something toward the bottom right…

QUILL MODE DEPLOYED

And if you crank the volume you can actually HEAR THE QUILLS going up!

And then she crosses the bridge still powered up. 🤗
