96073 at Stratford. The 1996 stock was introduced on the Jubilee line in 1997, making it the oldest train on the London Underground with AC traction motors (the older D78, 1972, 1973 and 1992 Stock trains also in use on the network have DC traction motors). Delivery of these trains was completed in 1998, approximately 1 year before the opening of the Jubilee line extension. These trains were ordered to replace the 1983 Stock trains in use before the Jubilee line extension was opened - it was originally intended to keep the 1983 Stock in service on the line, but this was ruled out on cost grounds.
