A new Piccadilly Line train was tagged with graffiti while being delivered over the weekend, raising concerns about security and the protection of London's new fleet. The incident occurred as one of the brand-new trains, part of Transport for London???s (TfL) modernization efforts, was en route to its destination. The train, intended to serve the busy Piccadilly Line, was defaced with graffiti before it even made it onto the tracks. Images circulating online show the train tagged with spray paint, sparking frustration among TfL officials and the public alike. The new Piccadilly Line trains are part of a multi-million-pound upgrade aimed at improving service reliability, increasing capacity, and providing more comfortable journeys for passengers. The vandalism raises questions about the security measures in place during the transportation of such valuable assets. TfL is yet to comment on the incident, but it is expected that an investigation will be launched to determine how the vandalism occurred and what steps can be taken to prevent similar incidents in the future. Authorities are urging members of the public with any information to come forward, as the search for those responsible continues.
