We wanted to go up to the new years day parade today - but oh what a
surprise - the tube is doing a 1 train every half hour service in
the burbs. Fantastic. Good to know the people running public
transport really have the public interest at heart.

This is no different from last year. Services increase in frequency
from around 1100 or so.

What was different was no free tube travel last night, just buses and
trams, I gather.

Except, of course, that isn't what was organised. All tubes, DLR, buses
and trams were free from 2345 to 0430. One NR line - Southern (Victoria
to East Croydon) I think - also ran free. All the other NR lines had to
be paid for as I believe the subsidy was withdrawn as a result of TfL
budget cuts.

Ta. It turns out my informant was referring to the TOC train services.
