THE FABRIC
This design was first seen on Piccadilly line Tube stock IN 1997. The mainly red, blue and black design is highlighted with white tracing, solid squares and triangles Somewhat reminiscent of the work of the late great Abram Games who was responsible for the 1952 Festival of Britain artwork and many posters for the Underground. This fabric may re-appear on the Piccadilly Line in due course.
THE LINE
This line was originally called the Great Northern, Piccadilly, and Brompton Railway. It opened in December 1906 between Hammersmith and Finsbury Park. In 1932, extensions allowed passengers to travel north to Cockfosters and west to Hounslow and Uxbridge.
The next major extension connected Heathrow Airport with central London in 1977. The loop to Terminal 4 was completed in 1986, and the line will serve the new Terminal 5.
