So it looks like most of the tube lines will be running but none of the
sub surface lines. Anyone know why that would be the case?

The new signalling system is delayed, but is finally due to be put in
during the next few years. Only after that will the Night SSL be possible.

Not that it needs the signalling, rather the signalling engineers need night time shutdowns to put it in.

Overnight services are only being introduced on lines with no major engineering projects in the pipeline.

Interesting that they don't even have plans to introduce night trains on
the Bakerloo.

Most of the potential passengers are probably back under curfew by then.

Pity the Central Line finishes at Loughton. One more stop to Debden
(where some trains actually terminate ATM) would have got me home.

Since they aren't suggesting night trains anywhere without modern signalling
it will be a long time yet. You might as well complain the Waterloo & City
isn't mentioned.

In my book the absence of the Northern Line City branch is more surprising.
I know the City is still pretty dead outside office hours, but Old Street
and London Bridge?

The Piccadilly Line certainly doesn't have modern signalling, and its
trains are only a few years newer than the Bakerloo's.

Perhaps because of the looming rebuilding of Bank station, with a new
southbound platform tunnel for the Northern line?

Queens Park is full of luvvies! I've seen Jessica Hynes and Gordon
Kennedy use the station.
