<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Revellers expected to descend on central London in their hundreds of thousands to celebrate the New Year can look forward to free travel on the capital’s Tube network.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>After partial closures throughout the festive period, Transport for London (TfL) said it the “vast majority” of its trains and Tubes will be running throughout the night.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Ahead of the capital’s major New Year’s Eve events, including the Mayor’s annual fireworks celebration by the London Eye, TfL will alter its services to help party-goers get around.</strong></span></p>
<div id="mpu0ArticleBody" class="ad-wrapper"></div>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong><em>Here the Evening Standard explains how the city’s rail and Tube networks will be effected as Londoner’s prepare to bring in 2018 across the city.</em></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>When will travel be free, and does it apply to all lines?</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Customers using TfL’s Tubes and trains will be able to travel for free between 11.45pm on New Year’s Eve and 4.30am the next morning. </strong></span></p>
<div id="teads-mobile" class="ad-wrapper"></div>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>This includes the entire Tube network, Overground, buses, the DLR and trams.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>TfL said all of its Tube lines will be open, and will run services throughout Sunday night and into New Year’s Day, with the exception of some planned closures.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>All lines, including the Central, Circle and District lines and the DLR, will run a night service as revellers descend on Westminster for the Mayor’s firework event.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>But there will be no service on TfL Rail. Instead, rail replacement buses will run throughout the night – calling at all stations a part from Liverpool Street and Maryland. </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>The London Overground will be partially closed, but some of its lines will be operating all night. There will be no services on the Gospel Oak to Barking, Romford to Upminster, Edmonton Green to Cheshunt routes.</strong></span></p>

<p>Govia Thameslink Railway are currently consulting about their proposals for improved weekend services on their franchise, which covers Thameslink, Great Northern, Southern and Gatwick Express.</p>
<p>On the Hertford Loop (which runs through our area) they are proposing a big increase in frequency on weekdays and Saturdays (offpeak 6 trains an hour from Palmers Green, 4 trains an hour from Bowes Park). However, they have dropped their earlier promise to double the Sunday service and now plan to stick to two trains an hour all day.</p>
<p>I've been looking forward to a proper "metro" service since it was first mentioned last year and am very disappointed about the Sunday proposals. I think we should be lobbying for 4 trains an hour.</p>
