Night Tube Discussion

I would appreciate if someone could post me a copy of the Night Pocket Tube map to Canada Also are there any pictures of the Quad Royal version that can be posted here?

This special Night Tube roundel is gorgeous! As seen on the Londonist website.

Londonist and accuracy aren't two things that usually go together.

Oxford Circus, Brixton, King's Cross and Liverpool Street all have roundels, although they're not the same as that in the image above.

Great pictures 👍

Suppose it didn't help with the Central Line having issues at Loughton at 2am this morning due a defective WESTRACE card

Crushed by the BT Police and TfL officials.

What's a Westrace card, and is it allowed under equalities legislation?

Yes the loadings on the Victoria Line were very low. I didn't see a single train showing more than 10% loading all night, some were showing 0%.

Obviously Night Tube is so vitally important to London...

A very inefficient way of providing transport to a comparatively small number of people.

Westinghouse Train Radio and Advanced Control Equipment

Its a card for the signalling system

I spent the night across the system and, considering it was the first night and a potential for so much to go awry, loadings were healthy throughout the night. There were a few instances of rowdiness but nothing worse than a usual Friday and Saturday night.

I shared a trip westbound to Loughton with a group of young party goers who all thought the Night Tube was great, and will be using it a lot more as a cheaper alternative to taxis. They were also connecting into one of the new night bus routes, apparently.

Whether Night Tube is a success or not is yet to be determined, but I'm pretty certain that last night has safely proven many of the bay-sayers wrong.

Back out again tonight to form a firmer opinion, as I did lose a good couple of hours on the official first train.

Westbound to Loughton....

Where were you coming from.... Ongar !!!



En-route home from my visit to Oxford Circus and Brixton [around 1:30am], I was traveling towards Loughton, only to witness strange/angry accusatory looks from a group of 4 persons being targeted towards a gay couple who had closed their eyes and were both semi-conscious/sleepy - they only had arms around one another, like any other loving couple might. For a brief moment I thought I was going to have to intervene to prevent an incident, before common sense prevailed and the couple, along with those making the accusatory looks, all got off at Mile End.

Then driving home from Newbury Park I heard Cristo, a presenter on LBC, go on for some 20 mins about who cared if the tune was now 24 hours using a very patronising, biased and uneducated tone / POV. It was clear the he was coming from a preconceived POV and haden't made the effort to invite any genuine guests from any Union/TfL to contribute to the debate. Just prior to parking at home he was ranting on about how typical it was that here was a signal failure at Loughton, suggesting that TfL/LU might as well only report when a good service is operating on all lines (as opposed to when there are problems). The presenter gave me to impression that they weren't willing to listening to reasoned argument in the first place, so I chose not to call/waste my time and instead downloaded my images.... and went to bed after a 22+ hour day.

Actually, of course, Jack **might** have travelled westbound to Loughton, as in the early part of the night there are trains coming off the "day tube" service from Epping to join the night tube service at Loughton (where, I presume, there is a crew change). Thus Epping, Theydon, and Debden stations are served a bit into the Night Tube regime, even though the night tube doesn't go that far out.

Which when you live in Debdan and wake up at Epping are immensely useful!
