Everyone seems so excited for the night tube, but a big city like London should really have a 24/7 subway. Here in Copenhagen, we have a population of just 1 million, but our underground runs every 20 minutes in the night - even in weekdays!
you seem to be missing the fact that the london underground isnt automatic
@@ubahni yeah and also because how old the tube is, it really needs more maintenance than probably any other underground system 🤣
Has it been found to have a positive net cost-benefit or has it simply been assumed that it does?
Every 7 1/2 minutes, who needs a tube that frequently at like 3am?!
That's what we shall find out once the service has started!
+Londonist Ltd that's great but the weekend is when we get the most work done on the track. 24 hour running will increase failures which will affect the day running when you really need it.
Tpavra Agreed no one uses it that much
I'd say NYC is a great example, but there's more that goes into that story.
Patrick: Oh boy it 3AM, Rides on the tube.
Apparently, despite having five underground stations, no one lives in Ruislip.
Or in Harrow. At least I can get to Wembley Park and get a cheap cab.
Could be worse, you could live in south east London and have no tube services at all...
Dave Bateman exactly! Croydon is the borough with the highest population in the Greater London area. Yet we have wasted stations like Roding Valley, the 5 Ruislips, Chesham, Amersham and Chorleywood which aren't even in greater London and no one lives there. It's a joke!
Apparently Roding Valley is one of the least used LU stations, with only 200,000 passengers a year. I've never understood why places like Amersham or Chesham have LU stations. Is it an offshoot of the old Metropolitan Railway's plans to become more of a suburban railway service or to do with 'Metroland'? I've never been to those towns, but I watched an episode of Midsomer Murders last night which was partly filmed in Chesham.
Liam Dowd you guys have trams for a reason........
Hi Geoff, this morning I went to King's Cross station and I found there was a new poster showing the evolution of the 'Roundel' sign over 100 years - which seems very interesting. Hence, I think it might be a good idea for you to make a video about that (i.e. the evolution of roundels). XD
Must agree, Rob
that's a good idea
They're ditching New Johnston?!
Funny how the jubilee, piccadilly and victoria line all have night tube service. These three lines all meet at Green Park
I was in London twice this year, once in September and once in May/June. Their lines are expansive, but only one way in each direction per line. There are no express tracks as in New York or Philadelphia. But their maintenance and service schedule is still miles above DC (where I live and where I am enduring a year-long remedial Metro repair to get it to "fair" instead of "poor/dangerous"). And even New York's 24-hour service has limits despite multiple lines and express track. Part of the London upgrades on the Metropolitan, Hammersmith & City, District, and Circle lines are in part to get them ready for Night Tube service -- as well as to update the infrastructure for new trains. I am happy that there is this coming, and hoping this will be expanded to other days as well.
If the trains never stop running, when do they clean up the hazardous metallic and non-metallic particulate matter on the lines?
Awesome video Londonist!
If only Sydney had Night Trains... Our weekend time tabling is rubbish in some areas, up to an hour wait in some places. Yet Howard Collins is our CEO
This looks like a great introduction for me and others going to festivals like wireless in London at Finsbury Park. Easy access to the centre
I think it is a good thing and it will be used. In Berlin we have night services on (almost) every line in public transport in the weekends for decades. The trains are even overcrowded sometimes.
Same here in Vienna
I sometimes wonder if the Central line needs the night services. I've seen people on Twitter saying that the line has got worse since it went onto night tube because it means less time for engineering works. The SSL won't be going on it until the 4LM is complete, but I don't know how it'll work at some of the outer stations on those lines.
A good idea for those who like to party, but don't want to have to sit in a railway station for a few hours, waiting for the milk-train, or fight to get onto a crowded night bus! Still, I'm surprised that they're not running the Heathrow service sooner - I would have thought it would have been one of the first ...
Free the night!
FREE THE NIGHT! But is it just Geoffs old habit to say "Heathrow Terminals 1, 2 & 3" or haven´t TfL been bothered to change the name to "Heathrow Terminals 2 & 3" now that Terminal 1 has closed?
Station is called Heathrow Terminals 1, 2 and 3. Should be renamed to Heathrow Central, to match the mainline service.
The station has been renamed _Heathrow Terminals 2 & 3_. Check here:
content.tfl.gov.uk/standard-tube-map.pdf
It used to be called Heathrow Central when it first opened, before the loop and the T4 (and later T5) station was built. It's a pity the Piccadilly Line to Heathrow doesn't run overnight during the week as well as I would imagine it would be useful for people getting early morning flights rather than spending money on hotels or taxis/buses or for car parking.
Wow you guys are lucky to get rail service that frequent on the Overnight, in NYC every line is every 20 Minutes
I bet the engineering department are not that happy about the new services, they are always saying they don't have enough time as it is.
Certain that these services will not be regular or safety will be compromised. Big mouth idiot Boris Johnson opens his mouth without consulting LT engineers or staff. What could go wrong?
That first clock graphic was extremely bewildering.
One day, even the Bakerloo line will get the night service but for now not yet, really do hope they extend the trains from Elephant and Castle down south and it will have more of a use. We just need to wait that is all
I bet they are waiting for the new trains before introducing it because the Bakerloo line has the oldest trains
I bet that will happen once new trains come.
Similar to Philly's "Owl Trains". Service every 20 minutes on both rail line in Philly every Friday and Saturday. Fares collected onboard the train though.
I think the night tube map should have a Bakerloo line service added to the map running the full length of the line including the New Bakerloo line extension
nice job by the Transport for London Night tube programme and regarding the map there is a similarity between the Piccadilly line cockfosters to Heathrow Terminal 5 and MTA A train to Far Rockaway is that they serve an airport stop 24/7 in this case Heathrow Terminal 5 and Howard beach-jfk. victoria Jubilee and northern line Central section have MTA Subway equivalents they are 1, 2 , 4, 6 & 7 Trains and BMT/IND A, D, E, F, G, J & L trains which operate the entire line during late night service
London weekend night tube is still way better than our Manchester metrolink weekday day service!
Wow, the piccadilly line's night isn't in my area. It could've been really useful from at Rayners Lane
On the 31st December 2017 Sunday Express has on the London Underground.Has 6 Lines:Central,Piccadily,Northern,Circle,District and Jubilee.
Central Line:Epping - West Ruislip,Speed:50 k/m,Wagons:4,Don't go:To Eailng Broadway and The Loop to Loughton.
Piccadily Line:Cockfosters - Heathrow Terminal 5,Speed:110 k/m,Wagons:6,Don't go:To Uxbridge and Loop to Heathrow Terminal 4.
Northern Line:Morden - High Barnet (Via Bank),Speed:120 k/m,Wagons:6,Don't go:To Kennington (Via Charing Cross),Edgware and Mill Hill East.
District Line:Upminster - Ealing Broadway,Speed:60 k/m,Wagons:3,Don't go:To Wimbledon,Edgware Road and Richmond.
Circle Line:Edgware Road - Hammersmith,Speed:90 k/m,Wagons:5,The train passing Edgware Road station (towards Hammersmith).
Jubilee Line:Stanmore - Stratford,Speed:80 k/m,Wagons:2,The train passing all stations (Terminal stations - Stanmore and Stratford).
Now there's no last pint rush before the last northbound Northern line train comes in!
Geoff, do you know is there are future plans to roll out the district line at night?
FREE THE NIGHT!
I WISH this was running when I went there a few years back.
Where did you get the information about the Central line service from? I've heard that the trains on the Hainault branch will run through to Ealing Broadway, while the trains on the Loughton branch will terminate at White City (not the other way around)... I may be wrong though.
Also, FREE THE NIGHT!
Northern & Picadilly Line is coming out when?
Nice video 😀.
FREE THE NIGHT can't wait for this now 😊😊
Why do northern lines not run up the Bank branch
great! very interesting :)
you guys are getting there. Still nowhere near the level of service I get overnight on the New York City Subway but it's a start.
I believe with the NYC Subway you have 2 pairs of tracks for trains to run on so they can continue service on 1 set of tracks whilst the others are being maintained, but in London it's 1 pair of tracks
+Alasdair Clift few sections have that option, and some four tracks lines are in use at all hours. The two lines closest to my house are both two tracks.
Is there a new map out yet? You mentioned this in your video chatting with the guy the makes the maps.
It's shown at the end of the video
So when is the vital line maintenance going to be done?
I waited at Leicester square while two trains pulled in full on 25/10/16 and one was covered in TFL night tube branding #FREE THE NIGHT!
The overground is on the night tube (east London line)
London: the city that never naps.
what about the overground line between highbury and islington and new cross gate
So what records can be set on the Night Tube? I suppose with those timings it wouldn't be possible to get round all the lines in one night...
I do like the idea of overnight tubes , Just hope there won't be p###heads going on the tracks, Its also a matter of time when all other lines like Bakerloo, Metropolitan and even Crossrail would follow. and its very most likely so.
Very frustrating that North West London is barely covered in comparison to the rest.
+Londonist Ltd when Crossrail opens in 2019 wil it be 24h on friday and saturday?
It will open in 2021
+LondonistLtd do you think the metropolitan line will be added to night tube?
Yes, but not for a few more years yet until the signalling has been upgraded.
Google says that it might in 2020
Perhaps TfL should introduce more night services on other lines as well on other services that would benefit from people working at night in and around London.
wow amazing
Will the metropolitan line eventually become a part of the night tube
Great news for the homeless, a bed for the night for only 1 tap of your oyster!
They're homeless they're not going to have Oyster cards
Matt In Full Vision r/whooosh
No bank branch?
I don't live in UK but I think there should be at least one subsurface line which I think it should be the Hammersmith & city line from Hammersmith to barking or Daghenam east i'm not sure.
Why is it that the London overground like tube from Edmonton Green to London Liverpool Street
How will they clean the lines over that time?
1:48 Uxbridge
What fior are you stressing out your stuff serving a few nightowls
London's night line is more comprehensive then Toronto's regular daytime subway
No it isn't
Well that’s that
I wonder if the Northern Line Extension to Battersea will appear on the Night Tube map, then that means all trains will terminate there than Modern.
Also, why not every night than Friday and Saturday nights?
They need time during the week to perform track maintenance, cleaning, etc ...
I’m from the future, and there is no night service to Battersea.
If only the regular tube map was as simple.
pfff i love the daytime system, the more complexity the more options and variations.
And what if you need to go to Tower Hill?
+Londonist Ltd Do you think the District line should have a Night Tube service?
Why no Circle Line?
Heathrow is closing between 23 pm and 05 am right? If so, why should there be a night service to there?
Passengers who live in the area and for people who may have got a late night flight and stayed around in heathrow for a bit whilst trying to get through border controls etc.
Wait a minute, isn't Heathrow closed between 11PM and 5AM?
WILL THERE BE THOSE HORRIBLE TFL TICKET INSPECTORS ON THESE NIGHT TUBES AT 3 AM IN THE MORNING?
man, I'm glad I live in Inverness, where getting to work means getting up at only 6AM, walking five minutes and starting at 7. Although, the bus drivers are even worse than London... never seen a single one overtake me as a cyclist with the mandatory meter gap...
WHY geoff WHY do central line trains don't call at totenam court road?
Heathrow Terminals 12And3 Is Now Called Heathrow Terminals 2And 3 From The 30th June 2015
FREE The Night
Any word yet on the price? Will it be the same fare as daytime?
Same fares as far we know Jon, yes. The 'fun' will come though when your journey goes over the 04.30am time, normally used for the end of one day, and the start of another. We don't know how that's going to work yet!
As someone who rides the NYC subway, a subway that runs 24/7, I can tell you that this decision will come back to haunt you. When are you going to have time to maintain the tracks? In New York, we just screw up the services on weekends. On weekends, they are completely unpredictable. This causes a lot of frustration.
The night tube is only running on weekends so they maintain it during the week
London is a giant city the whole underground should operate during the night some people shouldn't mind working during the night
Nice. But I can't believe that a large and complex underground system such as London Underground is just now introducing night service. Berlins U- & S-Bahn has had night service at the weekend for a long time.
union problems , there was plans but union block it basically
The New York City Subway runs 24/7 since its opening in 1904...
It's not just union problems. You can't expect people to change to work at night at the drop of a hat for the same money. This should have been thought of and new people recruited right at the start. The safety issue was also a problem and i kind of agree with them. If when 7/7 happened there hadn't been staff on the trains to help the people out and get them to safety then the situation would have been a lot worse. Sure this kind of incident doesn't happen very often, but it still needs to be planned for and does cost money. Whether you like it or not the London Underground is a Victorian underground railway on the whole that hasn't been upgraded or invested in as it should have been for a long time, well until recently I would say. It wasn't designed for things like driverless trains and some of the signals are so old it is a surprise they even work. I'm sure it will eventually, but it will take a lot of investment to get it to that stage.
Cool.
Are they going driverless or paying crazy overtime to resolve the dispute?
Picc line can't be driverless.
Believe that they've recruited & trained new drivers.
they'll do the same as per the buses and have people that only drive at night i heard.
+Pete S. until NT4L is rolled out.
now its back
Description says norrthern line
How can this work? Engineers and staff will have a hell of a time trying to sort this. I take it this has been arranged by those up top.
lol nope, i dont think stuff like the engineers have been given much thought at all. Will probs be a shambles like almost all TFL/ LU operations as of late, they already have barely enough staff to cope. I dread to think how these night shifts will hit them.
In Melbourne, Australia we have a trial of night trains which runs Friday, Saturday nights on all metropolitan lines though the catch is it runs only hourly. Heres the link: www.ptv.vic.gov.au/getting-around/night-network/night-train/
I'm really excited for the night tube so I can play Pokemon go in the night.
free the night!
Needs district line night tube
When will the Night Tube come back?
On nov 27 2021
when does the night tube start as in what time I am only asking because I am an 8 year old
1am.
Thought the Circle/District and H&C lines would have got a night tube?
cheers
Doubt the circle line or H&C will as there isn't much call for them during the day at weekends let alone nights, I imagine District and Metropolitan will join though, meaning the Circle and H&C won't need a night service
+MrTuckedup Good point
Sean Lewis the circle Hammersmith & city district and metropolitan lines will have a night tube. but tfl needs to finish upgrading first
I think after the night tube many night bus routes should change to cover a new demand
Wow there wasn't a Night Service in London until recently? Even my sub 1 million city in Germany has had night service since forever, on all lines, 7 days a week.
colacastell welche stadt denn?
But I'd bet that system isn't 150 years old.
10 minutes is really frequent, but 7 1/2? that's waaay too much more that it'd be needed. And the only logical service (to meat least) that would make a good use of the 10 minutes frequency is the service between Heathrow and the Centre of the city. (But beware, im no Londoner nor English not British nor Western European, so my view doesn't have to meet the London standards)
It's only 7 1/2 as there's two destinations for the northern line out of Morden and they amalgamate en route hence the more frequent time
+I Am Secretly A Penguin Yes, I understand that, but still, I mean that 7 1/2 minutes are too frequent. I think 20 minutes in both branches would be more than enough, so there'd be 10 minutes in the city centre
Free the night! :-)
Sad that during COVID 19 Night Tube was Suspended.
I might have been on a night tube once but I don't know
Did you just say heathrow terminal 1 o-o
Oh, I see, it's a train service for ravers. Are public raves offered on the NightTube services?
Free the Night
FREE THE NIGHT
Is northern line not norrthern line...
Oof the trains
Now Vancouver #SkyTrain got to figure out how to introduce 24 hrs #SkyTrain service similar to Copenhagen Metro. At the moment operators BCRTC and ProTransBC and parent transit agency TransLink would be better off to extend the current operating hours (but not actually 24 hrs yet). Then TransLink, ProTransBC, and BCRTC should work on introducing 24 hrs service on public holidays. Next, TransLink, BCRTC, and ProTransBC should extend 24 hrs service to Saturday nights only similar to Barcelona. The long term goal for #SkyTrain operating hours is TransLink, BCRTC, and ProTransBC to introduce and operate all lines and stations 24/7.
The night is FREE!
