Will be interesting to see how this has a knock on effect on general
cleanliness of the tube since the same amount of cleaning will have to be done
over 5 nights rather than 7.

The Night Tube service is obviously much less intense than the day service,
so there will still be plenty of trains in the depots to be cleaned and
maintained on those two nights.


Out of interest, how often are trains cleaned? I assume they are
inspected at least daily for large amounts of errrm soil, but do they
actually get properly cleaned daily?

They get regular walk-through rubbish collections (mainly to pick up
the discarded free Metro and ES copies) during the day, but I don't
know how often they get a proper interior clean. They obviously go
through the train washer regularly to keep the exterior fairly tidy.
