Unfortunately for passengers, it's at Stratford Market depot in east London where they will remain parked all day.
These Jubilee line carriages would normally move passengers between Stratford and Stanmore.

It's a cold Thursday morning and all seems quiet in Willesden Green.
Most people are aware of the Tube strikes and have allowed more time to get around by bus.
The queues for the bus are short and most people have been getting on them, unlike on Tuesday when it was incredibly busy.
Those who didn't know about the strikes had a long way to travel and were left stumped outside the station.
It seems more people got the message today and have stayed at home.

The service update board on the TfL website, external makes for grim reading for Londoners this morning.
Although TfL rail and trams are running, all 11 London Underground lines are affected plus the Docklands Light Railway, which is part suspended.

I’m standing by one of the members staff here at Finsbury Park, who is politely telling passengers how to continue their journeys.
He says it isn’t as bad as Tuesday and certainly it isn’t as busy or as crowded.
He thinks many didn’t know about the strike on Tuesday. It is a lovely spring morning here and sunshine is glinting off the platforms
Commuters are pretty sanguine about the delays, it actually feels quite calm.

Image source, PA MediaKulveer Ranger who was transport, environment and digital adviser to Boris Johnson when he was mayor of London, is describing the timing of the strikes as "desperately wrong".
He tells BBC Radio London: "It's devastating for London at a time when the city is desperately trying to embrace normality, people were getting that sense that we were coming out the other side of the Covid pandemic.
"There is something desperately wrong around the timing if this industrial action.
"It seems that the conversations haven't been had, the distance hasn't been found between the two parties yet but the RMT has taken this significant approach which is devastating for people and businesses and the city."

Here at Stratford, where there would ordinarily be Central line services, passengers are trying to find alternative routes.

Andy Lord, who is Transport for London's chief operating officer, says he is "truly sorry" for the impact of the strike on Londoners.
He says: "The RMT has been very clear around what it would take to call of the industrial action, which is for us to give guarantees which are just not possible to give, and I would just like to reiterate that we have not put any proposals on the table regarding terms and conditions or pensions and the job losses being talking about involve no redundancies."
"I can categorically confirm there are no pension changes or proposals in line. There's just an independent review being carried out... which will be published on 31 March.
"We remain open to talks whenever the RMT is ready to do so.
"My priority has been to do whatever we can do to minimise disruption for London over the last two or three days for this unnecessary action that the RMT is taking."

Image source, PA MediaJohn Leach, from the RMT union, tells BBC Radio London he "very much hopes" there will not be further industrial action.
He says: "The Tube staff do not want to be going on any more strikes, they want to keep London moving like they have done and will continue to do so.
"They will not be pushed about like this - it is utterly wrong to put their pensions up for grabs like this.
"This is all about keeping London moving and treating the staff who do that with dignity and respect."

John Leach from the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) says nobody from Transport for London has been in touch with him since Monday.
He tells BBC Radio London: "The mayor's not picked up the phone once to my general secretary or to me. I'm slightly aghast at that - we're always available and what we need to do tomorrow is find a way out of this.
"They have called us to meetings and said to us 'we have nothing to offer you, we cannot move our position' and we, as a trade union, take our responsibilities very seriously about defending our members.
"They've got to do the deal that does London transport and people who work in London Underground the finance that it needs to keep London moving - and that's the message from today."

More from Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) regional organiser John Leach, who is on the picket line at Arnos Grove station.
He tells the Radio London Breakfast Show: "The Tube staff did a magnificent job of keeping London moving during the pandemic - they shouldn't now have to pay for that with their pensions, jobs and terms and conditions of employment.
"We will not allow our members' pensions, jobs and terms and conditions of employment to be put in jeopardy and worse: to be cut to shreds to do a deal with government. It's just not on.
"Tube staff are incensed. These are professional men and women who do a fantastic job and that's all they want to do."

Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) regional organiser John Leach tells BBC Radio London that he wishes to apologise for the disruption caused by his union's industrial action .
He says: "Obviously we regret the inconvenience this causes and we understand people find it hard, and I mean that genuinely, but the mayor of London needs to take a long, hard look at himself this morning and wonder why his entire Tube workforce haven't come to work for the second time in a week.
"The reason it's happening is because he's singularly failed to do the financial deal with the government that he needs to do.
"He's allowed them to dictate the terms of a financial bailout which has left him forcing cuts on his staff pension fund, hundreds of job cuts and changes to people's terms and conditions of employment."

Transport for London (TfL) is almost totally reliant on fares and since the pandemic began, passengers have stayed away.
It has meant central government has had to step in with emergency funding, but the money has had strings attached.
The mayor has had to make £400m in savings, raise up to £1bn in extra revenue, and carry out a review of TfL's pension fund.
The £400m savings mean the closure of 600 posts on the Underground, which will be done by not filling in behind those who leave or retire - there will be no compulsory redundancies.
The unions don't like that but the big, big issue is the pension reform.
BBC London's transport correspondent has more bad news..
