Night Tube Returns on the Northern Line

---

Belated restoration of services at the weekend for local stations

Services will resume on Friday and Saturday nights

Transport for London (TfL) has reinstated Night Tube services on the Northern line from the evening of Saturday 2 July. Night services on the Northern line were suspended in March 2020 due to the pandemic.

Night Tube services returned on the Central and Victoria lines in November 2021 and were further bolstered in May by the return of the Jubilee line. In addition, Night Overground services between Highbury & Islington and New Cross Gate returned in December 2021. This leaves only Night Tube services on the Piccadilly line to return and that is planned for this summer.

The return of Night Tube services on the Northern line has also been supported by a doubling in the frequency of trains during the day on the Northern Line Extension between Kennington and Battersea Power Station. The frequency of trains has increased from six to twelve trains per hour during peak times, and five to ten trains per hour at off-peak times. This will provide a more frequent service to customers to align with the growing demand for travelling on this section of the Northern line. 

The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said, "This is another landmark moment in the capital’s recovery from the pandemic – and fantastic news for Londoners and visitors who want to enjoy the capital’s incredible nightlife, safe in the knowledge that they will be able to get the Northern line home.

“It means that Night Tube services have now returned on the Central, Victoria and Jubilee lines, delivering not only a huge economic boost for our world-renowned night time economy but also making a huge difference to people who want to travel around our city at night.”

RMT strike action across Night Tube services over new rosters is ongoing and will continue until 4 December when RMT's current mandate expires, however TfL says it is causing very minimal disruption to services on the Victoria and Jubilee lines. There's also a regular service on the Central line with at least two trains per hour through central London. The dispute is over rosters, which were agreed by the other recognised union and introduced for Tube drivers in August 2021.
