=== Rolling stock === [[File:1996 stock driver car.png|thumb|1996 tube stock driving car]] [[File:1996 stock trailer car.png|thumb|1996 tube stock trailer car]] [[File:Au Morandarte Flickr DSC00076 (10112746033).jpg|thumb|1996 stock to Willesden Green arriving at {{lus|West Hampstead}}]] When the Jubilee line was opened, it was operated by [[London Underground 1972 Stock|1972 stock]]. From 1984, this was gradually replaced by the new [[London Underground 1983 Stock|1983 stock]]; the displaced 1972 stock was transferred to the Bakerloo line. The 1983 stock proved to be unreliable and troublesome in service,{{Citation needed|date=May 2007}} with single-leaf doors making passenger loading and unloading a slower process than on other stock with wider door openings. With the construction of the Jubilee Line Extension, the opportunity was taken to introduce new trains, and today the line is worked by [[London Underground 1996 Stock|1996 stock]], which has an exterior similar to the [[London Underground 1995 Stock|1995 stock]] in use on the [[Northern line]]. The new stock has internal displays and automated announcements to provide passengers with information on the train's route. At first, the displayed text was static and showed only the destination of the train, but later showed also the name of the next station and interchanges there. Subsequent modifications introduced scrolling text. The 1996 stock uses a different motor from the 1995 stock and has a motor design similar to [[British Rail Class 365|Class 365]], [[British Rail Class 465|Class 465]], and [[British Rail Class 466|Class 466]] [[Networker (train)|Networker]] trains.
