Jubilee Line depot JLP01_11_61523_11
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 impressive Jubilee Line depot at Stratford Market, Newham in Greater London. 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. Constructed by Laing London and designed by architects Wilkinson Eyre, this state-of-the-art train depot was an integral part of the Jubilee Line Extension project. Spanning across a vast 35-acre site, construction began in November 1993 with completion achieved just three years later. The shed itself is a remarkable skewed parallelogram structure measuring 100m x 190m. With its immense space capacity, it could accommodate nearly half of the entire fleet including 59 brand-new six-car trains. It became a hub for maintaining and servicing these modern marvels of rail transport. On December 11th, 1996, history was made as the first batch of these cutting-edge trains arrived at Stratford Market Depot. This moment marked not only a significant milestone for London's transportation system but also showcased how advancements in technology were shaping urban mobility. Preserved within Historic England Archive's collection, this photograph offers us a glimpse into both past engineering achievements and future possibilities for public transportation systems worldwide.
