London Underground launches official Night Tube map
London
Underground (LU) recently launched its official Night Tube map ahead of
introducing its first all night Tube services in less than three months’
time.
The
new map has been designed to show customers clearly which Tube lines
and stations will operate 24-hour services transforming night time journeys across London for
millions of people.
The
Night Tube will mean Londoners and visitors to the Capital can travel
on the following lines on Friday nights and the early hours of Saturday
and Sunday mornings:
· Central line: trains will run between Ealing Broadway and Hainault;
· Jubilee line: trains will run on the entire line;
· Northern line: trains will run on the entire line except on the Mill Hill East and Bank branches;
· Piccadilly line: trains will run between Cockfosters and Heathrow Terminal 5;
· Victoria line: trains will run on the entire line.
The
Night Tube will transform night time journeys across London for
millions of people, cutting journeys by an average of 20 minutes, with
some cut by more than an hour. London's night-time economy will be
opened up to a host of new opportunities, with the Night Tube supporting
around 2,000 permanent jobs and boosting the economy by £360 million.
As
the most visited city in the world, London will be joining just a
handful of other top world cities, including New York and Berlin, which
also provide metro services through the night. The new services will
help to maintain London's status as a vibrant and exciting place to
live, work and visit.
Gareth
Powell, London Underground's Director of Strategy & Service
Development, said: “The introduction of the Night Tube is a historic
step in our modernisation of the Underground. The Night Tube map shows
our customers exactly when and where they can use this landmark service,
which will make their late night journeys quicker and easier than ever
before. As well making life easier for people, the Night Tube will also
boost London’s night-time economy – supporting thousands of jobs and
stimulating hundreds of millions of pounds in economic growth.”
