London: An all-night Tube train service was due to commence in September 2015, but have been delayed until 2016.

The 24-hour service was to start on the weekend on five lines but were stalled due to unions and management failing to agree on rosters and pay. The Unions had stated that staff will be forced to work extra night shifts for little extra pay.

Aslef district organiser, Finn Brennan said, “We have put forward a number of proposals to resolve this in a way that is fair and benefits both sides. London Underground have rejected them all.”

London Underground had hoped to launch the night Tube service to co-occur with the start of the Rugby World Cup in September.
