Jubilee Line depot JLP01_11_61523_07
Stratford Market Depot, Stratford, Newham, Greater London. One of the new Jubilee Line underground tube trains (96003), standing on the tracks of one of the eleven maintenance bays inside the main shed at Stratford Market Depot.
Construction on the Stratford Market Depot was carried out by Laing London, with work starting on the 35 acre site in November 1993. The train depot, designed by architects Wilkinson Eyre, was built as part of the Jubilee Line Extension running from Green Park to Stratford and was where trains would be maintained and serviced. The shed which is a skewed parallelogram shaped structure, measuring 100m x 190m, had the space capacity to accommodate almost half the fleet, including 59 new six-car trains, with the first of the new trains arriving at the shed on 11th December 1996

This print captures the Jubilee Line depot at Stratford Market Depot in all its glory. The image showcases one of the new Jubilee Line underground tube trains, specifically train number 96003, standing proudly on the tracks inside one of the eleven maintenance bays within the main shed. The construction of this impressive train depot was undertaken by Laing London and commenced in November 1993 on a sprawling 35-acre site. Designed by renowned architects Wilkinson Eyre, it formed an integral part of the Jubilee Line Extension from Green Park to Stratford, serving as a crucial hub for maintaining and servicing trains. The shed itself is a striking skewed parallelogram shape, measuring an impressive 100m x 190m. With such vast space capacity, it could accommodate nearly half of the fleet, including 59 brand-new six-car trains. The first arrival of these state-of-the-art trains took place on December 11th, 1996. This historic photograph not only showcases the architectural marvel that is Stratford Market Depot but also provides a glimpse into London's rich rail transport history. It serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and engineering prowess while highlighting how essential depots like this are for keeping our transportation systems running smoothly.
