IN anticipation of a busy Christmas period, Transport for London announced the return of night time Tube services on Fridays and Saturdays from November 27 on the Central and Victoria lines.
The services were suspended at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic in March 2020. TfL said further driver training needed to take place in order to restore ‘Night Tube’ operations to the Jubilee, Northern and Piccadilly lines, but was aiming to resume them “as soon as possible”.
A full weekday service was reintroduced on the Waterloo & City line from November 22. Trains began operating again at peak times on weekdays in June after a 15 month gap, during which drivers were transferred to the Central line, where demand had remained higher, in order to operate as many services as possible to allow social distancing.
The Waterloo & City line is operating from 06.00-00.30 Monday-Friday with services every three minutes at peak times and off-peak every five minutes.
