A Tory assembly member says 'Thursday is the new Friday' and the expanded Night Tube is needed.
Proposals for the Night Tube to run on Thursday nights are being “kept under review”, Sadiq Khan has said.
“Thursday is the new Friday for many Londoners, and the push for a Night Tube on Thursdays will only increase,” she said, before asking whether the mayor will ask the government for the required funding. Mr Khan said that since its launch in 2016, the Night Tube has boosted London’s economy by hundreds of millions of pounds.The mayor said he has asked TfL to keep the service "under review" with a view of expanding it.
He added that TfL undertakes “continuous assessments” of travel patterns, but said late evening ridership on the Tube remains about 20% higher on Fridays and Saturdays than on Thursdays.Mr Khan was also asked about the recent resignation of his night czar, Amy Lamé, who will leave City Hall on 31 October.A "London Nightlife Taskforce" is instead expected to examine the effectiveness of the role – which currently commands a salary of £132,000 a year.
