TfL confirms extra police for night tube
Transport for London (TfL) has confirmed that British Transport Police (BTP) officers will be patrolling stations when night tube services begin.
An extra £3.4 million will be invested in police to support the night tube service, which will begin on the Central and Victoria lines on 19 August.
Around 100 officers will be deployed one the network once full services are underway, who will also be supported by BTP rapid-response vehicles spread across London.
Mayor of London Sadiq Khan said: "Passengers on the night tube must be able to travel with the same confidence they are used to during the day. That's why we're investing £3.4 million to ensure that dedicated officers are on hand to offer the support and visible reassurance Londoners expect"
