Default Later Tubes on Fri & Sat

Why is that the this is always presented as a balance between:

People out on the town late on Friday/Saturday night

vs.

People who start work early on Saturday/Sunday morning

What about the large number of people who finish work between 12:30am
and 1:30am? Most restaurant workers, many workers in
theatres/cinemas/bars? Why do they never come in to the equation?

Considering the inebriated state of some people at 1am you might not

want
them trying to decend escalators and then minding the gap to board

the tube.
They may also struggle to get from the kerb on to a bus but at least

they'll
do themselves less damage if they miss there.

Speaking from the sharp end (as it were) I think later running is a
terrible idea. We cope with enough drunks on a Friday and Saturday

night
as it is.
We'll have even more kids jumping the barriers while people with

valid
tickets who just want to get to work on time the following morning,

will
be penalised.
Even now, Sunday mornings, with our first westbound Central Line

train
not arriving until 07.15 when the station opens just after 06.25

isn't
much fun either.
