The new trains will increase capacity by about 10% and are also significantly lighter than existing designs, which will mean the trains are more energy efficient as well as providing a smoother ride, TfL says.
The site is currently in the final stages of fit-out, with recruitment well under way, ahead of production starting from early 2024.
