Default Night tube


I think this is the first announcement of the frequencies, and frankly
I'm astonished. Most trains will only have about enough people to fill
one carriage, if night bus capacity is anything to go by. I thought they
would run one train every half hour, so that they could easily run a
shuttle on one track while they work on the other, but it looks like
they will be just losing the weekend night engineering completely.

They don't say anything about the Bakerloo at all.

Yes, I'm surprised, too. I was thinking more on the lines of 3 tph, not
six. I don't think the Bakerloo is included in the Night Tube, at least
initially.

Well yeah, but they promise future service on SSL and even hint at
future service on the Overground, but the Bakerloo just isn't mentioned
at all.

A tube map without Shenfield on it will take some getting used to ;-)

Perhaps it has something to do with the areas it runs through?
