Default Piccadilly Line Automated Announcements

Hi folks,

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned this already, but at least one unit
(Vehicles 174+574 are two of the cars in same, didn't catch the third)
on the Piccadilly Line now features a full auto announcer.


Actually there are 3 1/2 full trains operational now the unit you
mention will have had 374 in it. I drove 107 - 216 units last Friday
and they are fitted too.

I've been told that they will be enabled at the rate of about 5 units a
week (two units make up a full train).
