Proposal - every Tube ticket office to close by 2015

And in another place:
"The 24-hour tube will boost weekend departures from Heathrow and hit
companies selling holiday 'add-ons', claims an operator.
Proposals for a 24-hour Tube service on Friday and Saturday nights
from 2015 was announced by Transport for London last month.
But loveholidays.com claims 'extras' like airport parking or
overnight hotels are likely to suffer, as demand will drop.
Rubbish
Many such shroud-waving claims are best treated with extreme suspicion.
The average person who uses service like that has to make a journey
much longer than is possible on the underground
If your destination is Milton Keynes, for example, it's no good that
you can get to Euston if there aren't any onward trains
Although just losing trade from people living inside the Tube area would
have some sort of impact.
