Jubilee Line depot JLP01_11_61523_02
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

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Jubilee Line depot at Stratford Market, Newham, Greater London in the 1990s. The image showcases one of the new Jubilee Line underground tube trains, specifically train number 96003, standing proudly on the tracks inside one of eleven maintenance bays within the main shed. Constructed by Laing London starting in November 1993, this impressive train depot was an essential part of the Jubilee Line Extension project from Green Park to Stratford. Designed by architects Wilkinson Eyre, it served as a hub for maintaining and servicing trains along this line. The shed itself is a remarkable skewed parallelogram structure measuring 100m x 190m and covering a vast area of approximately 35 acres. It had ample space to accommodate nearly half of the fleet, including 59 brand-new six-car trains. The first arrival of these state-of-the-art trains occurred on December 11th, 1996. This historic photograph not only offers a glimpse into London's rail transport history but also highlights the architectural prowess involved in creating such an expansive and efficient facility for maintaining and servicing underground tube trains. Preserved by Historic England Archive, this image stands as a testament to both engineering excellence and transportation innovation during that era.
