A few months ago, I seriously considered buying a house on the edge of
Galashiels, on the strength of the arrival of the line.

My daughter is looking for a flat to rent in London for the next
academic year. She *was* using the night-tube as one indicator of
suitable places to live. But that's turning rapidly to dust.

So it looks like it's back to Z2 north of Euston Rd, and/or night buses.

She has a fair number of cycling options.

Not really. Last year cycling from near Finsbury Park was taking three
quarters of an hour, and much effort needed to avoid very dangerously
busy roads. I'd also not recommend cycling home at midnight after social
events in Z1 (even in summer let alone in the depths of winter), which
is where the night bus|tube requirement comes from.

Three quarters of an hour from Finsbury Park seems a bit excessive. I didn't
take that long to and from Putney. There is the bike on train alternative to
a range of destinations although few as late as night tube.

Google has it as 33min, 5.2 miles. Daughter is a cautious cyclist.

She would appear to have the bike on train option until the 0135 PBO.

It'll happen. Eventually.

Was/is only Fri & Sat night though - I think some people got the idea in
their head that it'd be across the week.

Night buses in London are very popular and quite frequent (in some cases
very frequent).

But before the end of September - probably not.

Given the fuss about introducing it, count me amongst those people.

Are the unions *really* making all this fuss about a 2-day-a-week thing?

Yep and in effect an extra maybe 4 hours a night for 2 nights over
current hours

AIUI it is more a case of reacting to not being asked about the plans
first thus producing the impression that the staff are being dictated
to. Asking politely has long avoided trouble in other industries.
