Night Tube

[JamieLei]

I was on it tonight. About 1.40 from Tottenham Court Road. Relevantly busy, loadings you'd expect from a Saturday afternoon, with the exception that half the train didn't get off at Liv St!

Felt fine. People generally coming down off a night out. A few people going home from work.

There was a very bored looking TfL manager in my coach with ID, as there was in the next coach too. Probably observing how it was all working out. No one spoke to him; he didn't speak to anyone.

I do love the extents gone to whilst testing for this.

Allegedly staff threw vegetable soup everywhere, to act as a stand in for vomit. Assumably to see how hard it'll be to clean up after your typical night train is done.

Utilising a positively Dadaist methodology, staff flung soup around carriages during the (not so) dry run last Friday night, the liquid food being about the best and most affordable substitute for real vomit they could think of, though it obviously lacks a sambuca frisson.

The clean-up test was one of many conducted ahead of Friday’s launch.
