The Elizabeth line is not one of the few Transport for London services to run an all-night timetable, but its trains do start quite early in the morning and run late at night. Only five Tube lines run a 24-hour service on Fridays and Saturdays: the Victoria, Piccadilly, Jubilee, Central and Northern lines.
Why does the Tube not run all night?
Originally Answered: Why doesn't the London tube run 24/7? Running 24/7 requires 4 lines (like the New York subway). In off-peak hours you have two lines for trains, one line your maintaining and one line to get the maintenance staff there. In peak hours you can use the additional 2 lines as express lines.
