As part of that upgrade, its commissioned British studio PriestmanGoode to design the citys new Tube Train.
London Underground has received a $4 billion dollar design thats every bit as pretty as it is functional.
The above alone isnt very futuristic, but this next part is.
Of course, these automated trains have understandably drawn a fair bit of controversy.
Neither of those thoughts are comforting, and yet theyre both possibilities here.
London intends to start small, replacing 250 of its trains before 2020-2025.
After that, they wont be adding any new trains until at least 2060.
Like I said itll be a while.
