I dunno if that puts many people off causing trouble though. Some for sure but I've seen plenty of trouble from people who are drunk or on drugs as it is, I don't know how well they'd consider that they're on camera. Just the other day I saw a guy who was either mentally unwell or on something smash his can in a man's face (completely randomly) before running off the tube and it was mid afternoon. I don't think I'd feel very safe late at night.
Also I wish they'd have invested the money on better access for disabled people instead. The underground system is still shockingly outdated in that respect and would have been a much more worthwhile improvement imo.

I've always wondered why there would be no late night/early morning tubes running through London.
LT makes a good point though. This could potentially result into quite a bit of trouble. The tube is obviously a great mode of transport in terms of how easy it is to use and the destinations you can get too, but I can see why people would feel unsafe using it late at night. |

I'm sure you can look after yourself but there's lots of other people who might not be so tough. I'm not even against it in principle, I just think there's far better things they could have improved with the money (but people generally don't care about the disabled when there's convenience to be had), and I think it will definitely be an increased danger for a lot of people.

I know some of this stuff could happen during the day-time too, but I think there's an increased risk to someone's safety with this idea. |
