Description: | This Tube carriage operated on the Jubilee line. The line initially ran 1972 stock trains but these were steadily replaced by the 1983 Tube stock.
The 1983 stock adopted the features previously developed for the District line: doors that can be controlled by passengers and the installation of single doors. It had brightly-coloured interiors and bold moquette seating designs. Unfortunately, the single-leaf doors compromised loading speeds and passenger capacity, which later contributed to the stock being replaced.
The 1983 stock was withdrawn from service by 1998 and replaced by a new fleet. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Transport | Temporal: | 1983 - 1984 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Creator: | OCManufacturer : Metro-Cammell | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
