Mass Transit.....
Concept Design and Refurbishment

Piccadilly Underground 1973 stock was the largest refurbishment contract released at the time.

The programme called for complete removal of  all existing interior and exterior equipment leaving only the aluminium  shell and bogies, then extensive design and development were required to produce what can now be seen on Piccadilly tube stock today.

Labyrinth Developments built up a 30 strong  team to support London Underground Ltd requirements to design and manage the interior.

Labyrinth's management skills was employed  for the main liaison between the manufacturer RFS, LUL and the  independent styling house Warwick Design. Labyrinth ensured that all safety  requirements and material selections were within the strict LUL  specifications. This was a difficult process due to the massive  legislation changes following the King's Cross rail disaster.

Labyrinth controlled and developed all interior and  exterior concepts to replicate early aesthetics previously developed and agreed with the LUL/Warwick Design partnership. This was achieved on a  bi-weekly basis with agreed milestones.
