    I am sure they will be lovely.

    Cleaning staff should be kept busy removing the vomit and urine.

    Any news on pricing?

    I also wondered. Currently a 1 day travel card lasts until 4am the "next" day. With a 24 hour service there is going to have to be a cut off time.

    An 2359 cut off and double rate thereafter until 0600?

    I suspect the 4am cutoff will still stand. If they are going to move it, it will probably be to 5:29am. The tube currently starts at 5:30am. Although 24 hour services already exist on thameslink trains and also London buses where you can already use the travel card.
  • The 24hr Thameslink is great.. but obviously, if you can't make it to a London station because the tube is shut, its a bit painful. The 24hr tube will be great, since you can get to Kings Cross

    They've marketed it not as the '24 hour tube' but ' the night tube', sounds like it's going to be considered a separate 'product' to me and hence a different pricing structure for it somehow, maybe not though.

    Might need a new map though ...

    Proudly voted remain. A global union of countries is the only way to commit global capital to the rule of law.

    This follows the naming of the already existing night buses which do not have any difference in pricing. Seems obvious to call it the night tube.

    Spring 2015, it's a house price game changer, every London party animal is going to want to be near those specific stations. Talk of Thursdays too eventually.

    Better map here ...

    For investment purposes, I recommend Between Wood green and Ally Pally tube or anywhere near wood green tube. ;)

    My flat that I used to live in and now rent is approx 60 seconds walk from one of those north London tube stations. Sweet
  • I cam leave here in Saff Essex on a Saturday at 22:00 hours and 4 night buses later I can arrive at Heathrow at about 03:30 - pensioner bus passes are wonderful.

    There we are back on topic.
