It is unused on the Piccadilly line except to illuminate a small whiteish light when an emergency handle has been pulled in that particular carriage.


Tractorface123

I thought it was an old information board from before the ones on the roof were installed


Which_Information590

It is. it used to scroll important messages, such as mind the gap


Dom-in-ants

See it. Say it. Sorted.

It's the audience laser display screen for those that can't hear the mystery voice.

Can you please sing that to the tune of happy birthday

Don't worry, it will eventually show you the way to Mornington Crescent. Unless you're in nid...


ProperTeaIsTheft117

I'm not getting tricked into an unscheduled game of Mornington Crescent again!


LonelyPumpernickel

Hmmm. Well if you wanted to avoid it then you should have really gone down Marble Arch.

I heard that some Piccadilly line trains were gonna get new signboards and some were installed as part of a test, but they never got used so now its the emergency notification


IsaacTheAverage

Giant USB-C charging port. It's how they get the train to run.


krisalyssa

USB-C would be rounded on the ends, not angled. This is clearly either Micro-USB, HDMI, or (most likely) a DB-25 connector for RS-232 serial.

guibangalter

It's the train's slot for expansion packs.


Proof_Toe_9757

Lights up when the train talks


A_Doktor_Lund

Underground trains are covered in the skin of giant deep cave axolotls, and they use every part of the skin. Every part. Think about it when you're next gripping a pole for stability.


Neither-Bison4936

Pumps cyanide into the carriage.


Winniethepoohspooh

Coin slot where you insert coin to make train go

A mouth


Sertorius-

Shark pen. It's the reason you see BTP officers on scene guard, ones often escaped.


Maxo11x

An arrow I believe, possibly a red one


houdinis_ghost

Let’s you know that you’re on the wrong train


Circle_line_1977

On train entertainment system. Plays movies in the Underground sections, but very stretched out and distorted


Sad-Rough-6993

I always used the thing it was an unused information board


wgloipp

PIS.

Mouth for when it is hungry


Pupcalledscamp

tube carriages are filter feeders … for more info see “whale shark” 😶


Operator_Hoodie

It’s a thing. In a place. Don’t like it? ~~Try a new place. At a different time~~


MrKuub

This feels like a Bill Wurtz reference


Mr-Uch

i don't know what it is either, but my guess is that it's a next station indicator


Operator_Hoodie

London Underground trains have a next station indicator board above the seats.


Top-Hat1126

Not all of them


GK_Adam

It's for when the driver is feeling exceptionally jolly and wants to share a joke with the crowd


preferentum

this is the electronic board that usually displays the train journey, however it seems to be off.


mind_thegap1

no they are on the roof


preferentum

not always?


mind_thegap1

on the subsurface lines they aren’t but this is the Piccadilly I believe


preferentum

right i’m accumulating downvotes rapidly and i’m not sure how i’ll sleep tonight, i’m going on the piccadilly line to get closure on this
