The plan is for 96TS to be refurbished there.

More than likely due to the delays in CLIP as the intent was for the facility to do S Stock heavy work on this site, but it's now due at the same time.
== Doublepost prevention - post automatically merged: ==
So looks like the plan is to do everything there.
Also, wasn't 1996TS just "Refurbished" in the TFOS at Stratford Market?
Or is this to now do the welding work that's been known about for ages but wasn't done because they money wasn't wanting to be spent?

The S stock? Surely the '09 stock is in more need?
Or the 95, they're starting to look equally tired. Wasn't the 96 refurbished within the last decade?

The last I heard the 96TS was more along the lines of life extension work than a refurbishment - although the refurbishment (refresh) at Stratford was more internal only. 96TS work is something that probably would historically have been done via TMU like the 72TS extension works.

The 09TS can't practicably fit through the tunnels to get to Acton.

The 95s are leased from Alstom though until 2031 I think. I assume all work would be done by Alstom.
And none of the stock, other than the 72s and 92s need the major interior changes for RVAR that those trains are getting.
