Elizabeth line to run all overnight on New Year’s Eve

The Elizabeth line will run all night on New Year’s Eve to help people get home from parties.

Much of London’s public transport will operate throughout the night, although this year there isn’t a sponsor to cover the bills — so you will need to pay to travel.

Be aware that TfL’s official cut-off time between days is 4:30am. Therefore, any journeys made on 1st Jan before 4:30am will be counted in the daily cap applied to travel on 31st Dec, which for most people is a good thing, as your journey home will be added to the journey out and capped as one days worth of travel.
