London Overground to launch 24-hour service on weekends

Following on from last year’s implementation of the Night Tube

Beginning from December, a 24-hour service on select lines will run on Fridays and Saturdays.

According to RAThe Night Overground will begin by providing round-the-clock links from New Cross Gate to Dalston Junction, before opening up further services to Highbury & Islington in 2018.

Last year, Sadiq Khan announced the launch of the Night Tube, which has been implemented on the Victoria, Central and selected lines.

“Our Night Tube services have been a real success right across the capital, so I’m delighted to announce that we’ll be bringing the Night Overground to the East London line later this year,” Khan said.

“It will provide huge benefits to Londoners and visitors to our city, helping those working hard through the night and all those out enjoying everything London has to offer, as well as creating jobs and boosting our economy.”
