LONDON Jul.17 （People's Daily Online）—— London's night time tube service will be launched from 12 September this year. The Night Tube will support London's 24-hour lifestyle on Fridays and Saturdays, on five lines: the Jubilee, Victoria, and most of the Central, Northern and Piccadilly lines.

It will be pivotal to London's night economy and complement our existing Night bus services and London Taxi and Private Hire vehicles. Demand has soared over recent years, with passenger numbers on Friday and Saturday nights up by around 70 per cent since 2000.

It is also planed to expand the night time service to parts of the Metropolitan, Circle, District, and Hammersmith & City lines once the modernisation programmes are complete. Additionally, services could operate on parts of the London Overground in 2017 and the Docklands Light Railway by 2021.

Charges will be standard off-peak fares for travelling on the Night Tube.
