The Piccadilly line is a line of the London Underground opened in 1906. It connects Cockfosters in the north to London-Heathrow Airport and to Uxbridge in the west. It has the color dark blue on the London Underground map. During the 2016-2017 annual cycle, more than 206 million passengers use it. It is a deep line running from north to west London via Zone 1 with significant surface sections in its outer part. Of its 53 stations, 25 are underground. The Piccadilly line trains are 1973 tube stock, in the London Underground standard delivered in blue, white and red. Sixty-six trains out of a fleet of 88 are required to run the ridge line service, and one unit was badly damaged in the terrorist attack of July 7, 2005. Although the stock was recently renovated, its renewal is expected by 2014 The line has two depots; one in Northfields and the other in Cockfosters. There are sidings in Oakwood, South Harrow, Arnos Grove, Rayners Lane, Down Street, Wood Green, Acton Town, Ruislip and Uxbridge.

Excellent idea and you might run across the problem of Heathrow Terminals 1-5 stations is that the British Airport authority might have control over them instead of London Underground run by Tfl.
Is the 1973 stock ATO or conventionally driven, I don’t recall offhand. Good suggestion though as noted Heathrow might be the sticking point in which case that section of the route might have to be curtailed at Hounslow Central.
I do not know at all. but thank you for your comment. and yes i guess this is going to be shortened. to be continued
The Pic is manual. You’ll never get anything into Heathrow as they refuse to license anything. Again, massive route, way too many stations. And finally: why another tube line? Let’s get some variety please, Paris Métro, NYC Subway, not another tube line!!! Don’t thread bump.
You can stop posting videos, too. We get the picture. You’re just flooding the thread with unnecessary information that makes it hard to follow.
While it has a bunch of stations the tunnels make the route building quicker since tunnel literally has no scenery
Not necessarily, Matt said on stream that stations located underground take far longer to produce as they need to be texture baked (or something like that) so they don't appear dark whilst underground. I would imagine trying to lay track and gradients accurately underground would be a pain too as you can't use google earth to assist. Matt has also said numerous times that when they were planning to produce a London Underground line, they narrowed it down to either the Piccadilly or Bakerloo lines, but went for Bakerloo because it was a smaller project, mostly because the Piccadilly line has so many stations to model.
I think I want the next Underground route to be sub surface for the sake of variety. The Piccadilly line (or any other deep level tube line) would be great but I don't think it would feel very different from Bakerloo apart from the different trains. I've always hoped for the Metropolitan line. Not only is it the most historically significant line, but it also has by far the most variety in it's services, with fast, semi fast and stopping services to multiple destinations. The potential for varied gameplay is there far more than any other line. Not only that, but if they had the line went all the way out to Amersham it could help pave the way for an Aylesbury- London Marylebone route in the future, as Met trains share track with Chiltern services for a portion of the journey.
Not impossible, but far less likely. There's also many 'better' routes to make first (better in the context of ease of development). This would be perfect.
Why not another tube line we only have 1 being the bakerloo line. Have you got issues with london underground ????????
Which is the same pattern for most subway systems . Besides , 40% of the bakerloo line is above ground
That's your opinion and your entitled to your opinion, but there's been alot of people who would like to have a new underground route i.e Metropolitan Line, District Line and Piccadilly Line as most of these lines are above ground, unlike the Bakerloo Line which is roughly 60% underground
Exactly knowing that a lot of people love the subway world. me first. Ducoup it would be good to change
Uhh idk could be any like Amtrak’s Empire Service or uh Amtrak’s Keystone Service could even be NJT (New Jersey Transit) I was just want more think close to home and not more Euro stuff likes don’t get me wrong it’s cool and all but like i only have two U.S. passenger routes and not like European routes having like 7 or 8 maybe more it’s dumb sure we just got a new freight and Boston Sprinter but before that all we have was Metro North and Peninsula Corridor 2 lines that’s it idk maybe I’m being extra but I feel like DB is getting like the youngest of the family lmao
