"No one is fooled by the mayor's spin that this is primarily about
pay. There is big concern that in stations outside central London,
night tubes will be stopping at stations that will have no minimum
staffing levels - which could mean just one member of staff
dealing with the public coming home after a late night out. This
is a safety nightmare and clearly not good for these staff or the
public. […]"

How is that any different to what already happens when the last
tubes arrive at suburban stations at around 1am?

Or on the DLR.

LU won't understaff the stations because they know damn sure people
will probably just jump over the barriers if they think no one is
watching.

If the station was unstaffed the barriers would be open anyway.
