Default 'Weekend Tubes': decision on later start and finish times

Subject: 'Weekend Tubes': decision on later start and finish times

Thank you for taking part in our consultation about whether the Tube should
run later at weekends. We have now made the decision about the scheme and
can feedback to you.

We received strong support for a later night Tube but concerns were raised
about the effects of a later start, particularly on Sunday mornings, as the
Tube already starts later than other days of the week.

As a result, we developed an alternative scheme:

* Running half an hour later on Friday and Saturday nights.
* Starting one hour later on Saturday mornings.

This left Sunday mornings unchanged, enabling two thirds of those originally
affected by a later weekend start to continue to use the Tube.

We have now decided to run the Tube half an hour later on Friday and
Saturday nights and start it one hour later on Saturday mornings from the
end of May 2007.

Friday and Saturday nights

On Friday and Saturday nights, last Tubes will leave the West End at around
01:00 instead of 00:30.

(A small group of stations that currently close earlier than others and will
continue to do so. These include stations on the Metropolitan Line north of
Harrow-on-the-Hill, Bakerloo Line north of Queen's Park, intermediate
stations on the Woodford-Hainault loop of the Central Line as well as
Heathrow T4, Kensington Olympia and Cannon Street. Please see our website
http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/initiative...ter/faqs.asp#4 for
more details).

Some sections of track and stations are owned and controlled by Network Rail
and/or National Rail Train Operating Companies and we are discussing how to
apply the scheme to them.

Saturday and Sunday mornings

The Tube will start one hour later on Saturday mornings. First trains will
arrive at central London stations at around 07:00. Sundays will remain
unchanged, so first trains will still arrive at central London stations at
around 07:30.

Consultation issues and further information
