You asked
Follow-on from FOI-3259-2223:
On the dashboard you’ve shared the link to is there a way to overlay time of day – essentially so I can isolate night tube users per station per day?
If not, would it be possible to supply the same table you’ve given for night buses for the night tube entries?
We answered
Our Ref: FOI-0081-2324 Thank you for your request received on 6 April 2023 asking for further information about Night Tube journeys in and around Brixton.
Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy. I can confirm that we do hold the information you require.
Please find below information on the number of gateline entries between 00:30-04:30 on Friday and Saturday nights which is a proxy for Night Tube entries on these days. The data is for 2022:
• Clapham Common station averaged around 4,350 monthly entries on Friday/Saturday between 00:30-04:30 with October being the highest month (11,000 entries) • Vauxhall London Underground station averaged around 7,000 monthly entries on Friday/Saturday between 00:30-04:30 with December being the highest month (14,000 entries) • Waterloo London Underground station averaged around 8,250 monthly entries on Friday/Saturday between 00:30-04:30 with December being the highest month (28,000 entries) • Brixton London Underground station averaged around 11,750 monthly entries on Friday/Saturday between 00:30-04:30 with October being the highest month (19,000 entries)
In addition, please see the attached spreadsheet that gives monthly totals for Clapham Common, Vauxhall, and Waterloo stations. The monthly totals for Brixton were provided in our previous response. Please note that from March 2020 until November 2021 the Night Tube did not operate. The service on the Central and Victoria line was reintroduced in November 2021. Night Tube services on the Jubilee line only re-started on 21 May 2022 and on the Northern line on 29 July 2022.
Yours sincerely
