I was wondering if anyone could help tell me where all the trains for each line are kept overnight?

Where London's 500 Tube trains are kept overnight
Night Tube services have resumed on some lines but that can't account for every train used on the system, so what actually happens to them and where do they go?

Acton Works does not stable trains for passenger service, only trains for heavy maintenance.

At the possible risk of stating the obvious to a greater or lesser extent -
All London Underground's working timetables (timetables showing every train movement, including to and from depots) are public domain on TFL's website here. These were never really intended for public consumption, as they would confuse the average passenger, but under freedom of information, it was (as I understand it) decided to put them in public domain as a matter of routine rather than have to keep responding to requests for them.
Each one includes 'depot working' for that line, which lists the trains that start / finish at each location on the different days of the week, and 'rolling stock working' that shows where each train starts / ends each day (and where relevant, where it goes between the morning and afternoon peaks)
The 'train number' in these is the diagram / schedule / running number for each train working - it stays (unless anything goes wrong) with each physical train / unit for that day, but it's not the actual physical train / unit of that number. the actual train / unit that does each train number will vary from one day to the next to balance mileage / allow for maintenance and so on.
And on some lines, it is intentional that, while you generally need the same number of trains back at each location at the end of each day as started there, a train that starts at location X in the morning will end up somewhere else that night - not all locations can do the full range of cleaning / maintenance, so a train that's left somewhere without much in the way of maintenance facilities one night will probably end up at a more well equipped depot the following night and vice versa.
Or some will run in to a depot after the evening peak, get cleaned and checked over, then run 'not in service' to a remote 'stabling' location later in the evening so they are ready for the next morning.
