I would think that they would prioritise replacing the 73ts as this is
one of the first things that many people see when arriving into London
via LHR.


Given the hammering they must take both internally and on the running gear with
the large passenger numbers on the long runs out to Heathrow & Uxbridge, the
73 stock are in quite good nick IMHO.


Last I heard, they were the most reliable LU trains.

They most probably are.

I am guessing, however, that besides just the plan to resignal the
Piccadilly, LUL also want to go for the aesthetic and high-tech angle.
