Night Tube
Five lines that run all night on Friday and Saturday: which stations, which sections and how it works.
Which lines run all night
| Line | Night section | Stations | Trains/hour each way |
|---|---|---|---|
| Central | Ealing Broadway – Hainault (via Newbury Park) and Ealing Broadway – Loughton | 36 | about 5 |
| Jubilee | the whole line, Stanmore – Stratford | 27 | about 5 |
| Northern | Morden – Edgware and Morden – High Barnet, via Charing Cross only | 41 | about 7 |
| Piccadilly | Cockfosters – Heathrow Terminal 5 | 38 | about 6 |
| Victoria | the whole line, Walthamstow Central – Brixton | 16 | about 4 |
144 stations are served through the night. On the Northern line only the Charing Cross branch runs, so stations on the Bank branch (such as Old Street and Angel), Mill Hill East and the Battersea Power Station branch close as usual. The Bakerloo, Circle, District, Hammersmith & City, Metropolitan and Waterloo & City lines have no night service.
Five is the count on the Underground, which is all this site covers. TfL itself now lists a sixth Night Tube line, the Windrush line between Highbury & Islington and New Cross Gate, which is part of the London Overground rather than the Underground.
How the Night Tube works
The Night Tube started on 19 August 2016 on the Central and Victoria lines; the Jubilee, Northern and Piccadilly lines followed by the end of that year. It was suspended in March 2020 during the pandemic and was fully back by 29 July 2022.
Trains carry on from the normal Friday and Saturday evening service straight through the night and into the morning timetable, so there is no last train on those nights. Night trains run far less often than in the day: the table gives the number of trains per hour in each direction between 01:00 and 04:00, from TfL’s Friday timetable at a central station, which works out at one every 8 to 15 minutes depending on the line. Off-peak fares apply all night.
