Later Tubes on Fri & Sat

I suspect night bus hours will be shifted to compensate for the loss of the Tube; as for them being a viable alternative, they seem to manage out to the suburbs every night of the week. However, the demand is much higher at 0100 than 0600, so letting the Tube take the strain seems like a sensible proposal. 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. My sympathies. 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. Slightly OT, but if people saw sober people getting challenged for jumping barriers or using child tickets during the day time, then the sense of injustice that emboldens them to jump after a few lagers may be reduced. 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. ????? |
