Reopening of the Night Tube

Emma Best AM proposed, and Nicholas Rogers AM seconded, the following amended motion: 

“This Assembly recognises that the Mayor has failed to provide a timetable for reopening the Night Tube in full as requested by the Assembly at the 11 November 2021 Plenary meeting and agreed to by the Mayor at the 18 November 2021 Mayor’s Question Time meeting.

This Assembly notes that since then, the Mayor has written to the London Assembly Economy Committee to confirm that:

TfL is now working to reintroduce the Night Tube on the Jubilee, Northern and Piccadilly lines as soon as possible in 2022. Operator training still needs to take place on these other lines. Their return must also be planned around vital engineering works, including the closure of the Bank branch of the Northern line which began in January to allow the completion of the upgrade works. A timetable for the resumption of the remaining lines will be made available soon to give customers and businesses time to prepare.

The Assembly reiterates its call for a timetable for the full reopening of the Night Tube.”

Following debate and upon being put to the vote, the motion was agreed unanimously.
