Passengers on the Piccadilly line faced yet more disruption due to leaves on the track on Friday - ahead of six months of chaos caused by a combination of “the wrong kind of leaves” and preparatory work for a new £1.5bn fleet of trains.
The closure of the western end of the line, between Rayners Lane and Uxbridge, will continue until “mid-January” due to a shortage of trains caused by “leaf fall causing extensive damage to train wheels”.
