New Piccadilly Line Control Centre

[Deleted]

I have to admit, the information that Earl's Court Service Control Centre was being replaced by a new, computerised control centre for the Piccadilly line was news to me when I heard it on last night's "The Tube: Going Underground".

Does anyone have any more details about the new Piccadilly line control centre?

Also, is the District line moving out of Earl's Court right away, or will it hang around until transfer to Hammersmith SCC as the line is resignalled under the SSR resignalling?

I was told in the past that it would be South Kensington in the Pelham Street building.

The Piccadilly line will move out of Earl's Court some time next year. District Line Controllers will move from Baker Street to the new Hammersmith SCC.
District line signalling will move in stages from Earl's Court to Hammersmith . Signal Cabins at Whitechaple , Barking and Upminster will be closed as and when resignalling takes place.
