All-night Tubes are due to run Friday nights and early mornings on Saturdays and Sundays from September 12, although drivers are threatening to strike over pay and conditions for the new hours with a walk out planned for the evening of July 8.
Transport for London has said it's introducing night tubes because passenger numbers on Friday and Saturday nights have increased by 70% in the past 15 years.


"Across the Night Tube lines, you will be able to travel between Central London and the outskirts of the city," TFL says on its website. "It will be pivotal to London's night economy and complement our existing Night bus services and London Taxi and Private Hire vehicles."
The service will start off with five lines: Jubilee, Victoria, Central, Northern and Piccadilly. Trains will run at intervals of eight and 20 minutes depending on the line. TFL has plans to expand it to other Underground lines and parts of the London Overground at a later stage.
September's launch coincides with the start of the Rugby World Cup, which is being hosted in 13 venues around England and Wales from September 18, including fixtures in London's Twickenham Stadium, Olympic Stadium and Wembley Stadium.
