Piccadilly Circus Renamed For Star Trek

As part of an advertising promotion by internet giant Amazon, on 15th and 16th January 2020 Piccadilly Circus London Underground tube station was renamed Picardilly Circus.

The promotion was for a new Star Trek series which it will be possible to watch on the Amazon Prime streaming television service.

The new series is called Star Trek:Picard - the name is in honour of Jean-Luc Picard who is the central character.

I went there and took some still image photos and video. A few of my photos are below. They show both modified name signs on Piccadilly and Bakerloo line platforms and a way-finding sign plus advertisements on platform tunnel walls (Piccadilly line, with part of a train) and on a station passage wall.



There is also a video - which I have placed in the films and videos section here at Railforums.

This should be a direct link to that (I gave it a slightly different thread name)

And, of course, this also links up with the introduction of the new Central line timetable

I know this is a joke article; but the new Central line Timetable doesn’t start until the 26th.

Which the article makes pretty clear.

The link reads like one of the new rulesets for Mornington Crescent

I knew they were right about the podules of Trelissium
