Former Stations
The Jubilee line platforms at Upney are still used during service suspensions. For example, if there's a suspension on the District line anywhere between East Ham and Aldgate East, Jubilee line trains will stop to add an extra connection to the Croydon Branch, or in any scenario where Jubilee line service is abnormal.
Depots
There are two depots on the Jubilee line. Trains are serviced at Canning Town Depot between North Greenwich and Canning Town.
A second depot, Waterloo Depot, is adjacent to the one of the same name for the Waterloo and City line. It is slightly to the west of Waterloo tube station.
Future
Plans for a station near the Boston Dockyard have been considered, as there's a gap of stations in the area. Other plans call for a DLR extension to Stratford International.
