UK’s ‘most intensive’ train service set to begin

London Underground is to launch the UK’s ‘most intensive’ train service next week, increasing the number of trains to 34 an hour on the Central line.

As well as more frequent services, the Waterloo & City line will stay open until 12.30am on Saturdays – six hours later than trains currently run.

From Monday, September 16, 10 trains an hour will run on the Waterloo & City line between 6.30pm and 11.30pm under the new timetable, with services continuing as late as 12.30am.

The Central line will soon benefit from the UK’s most intensive service during the morning rush hour, with passengers only having to wait two minutes between trains.

In anticipation of the new improved service, London mayor Boris Johnson said: “The Tube is already more efficient than ever before, zipping passengers across our city to their homes and workplaces like a well-oiled machine.

“Now we are increasing services on the Waterloo & City and Central lines, giving passengers what they have asked for and helping to further ease congestion.”
