Economic operators are able to tender for either or both of these lots In 2019 fractures were found on the longitudinal beams of a 96TS Jubilee Line train's underframe. It was identified through further inspection, that the fractures were not limited to this one train. Those trains that were identified as fit for service (with regards to safety of passengers and LU train operators/ maintainers/ station staff) were returned to service however a large number of trains remained withdrawn until a repair (temporary) was undertaken.
