The London Underground 2009 Stock is a type of London Underground train built by Bombardier as part of its Movia family at its Derby Litchurch Lane Works, England. A total of 47 eight-car trains have been built for the Victoria line. They entered service between July 2009[7] and June 2011 and replaced the 1967 Tube Stock.[8] It is the first new deep level tube stock on the Underground network since the 1996 Stock entered service on the Jubilee line in 1997.
