London Night Tube

Nearly 50,000 excited travellers were hosted by London Underground on its Night Tube service on the inaugural night with Mayor Sadiq Khan taking the very first train - almost three years after the plan was first announced.

Midnight at bustling Oxford Circus Underground station in the heart of London, a band is playing and weekend revelry is only just beginning for some residents of the Big Smoke.

The long-awaited night Tubes will finally roll on to London's Underground platforms, putting the UK capital in league with other major cities around the world offering a 24-hour underground transport network.

London Underground staff walked off their posts on Wednesday to protest plans to run Tube trains all night at weekends, the second shutdown of the British capital's subway in under a month.

London's Underground network will shut down this week for the second time in two months after talks again broke down in a dispute over all night services, trade unions said Monday.

Train drivers' union Aslef said on Monday it had called a second 24-hour strike on the London Underground rail network for next month over plans to introduce a new night service.
