SUPPORT THE CAMPAIGN TO KEEP THE LONDON UNDERGROUND OPEN LATER!!
London is an amazing city. A city of culture, history and diversity. A city
with a mayor who collects newts. A city with a huge Ferris wheel. A city
where the clubs and bars stay open 'til three at the weekend... But a city
that's an absolute nightmare to get home from after midnight.
Every weekend millions of us are forced to either go home early or face the
prospect of a torturously slow journey on a night bus full of barking loons.
Or pay a fortune for a cab which "ain't going south (or north) this late".
And all because the Underground system in this amazing 24-hour city of ours
shuts down just after midnight. Even at weekends.
It's insane.
But it doesn't have to be like that. We pay for the Underground system with
our tickets and taxes and so there is absolutely no reason why it shouldn't
operate on our terms.
We're creating a petition to be sent to both The Mayor and Transport For
London - the two bodies who together control London Underground - demanding
that the Tube be kept running until at least 3am on Friday and Saturday
nights.
If enough people sign the petition - we reckon 100,000 should do it - then
Ken and Co will be forced to sit up and take notice. Not least because there
are Mayoral elections next year and this is a guaranteed vote winner.
So what are you waiting for? The petition is at...
http://www.londonbylondon.co.uk/latetubePlease take a few seconds to add your name - and tell everyone you know to
do the same (just forward them this email). Your city will thank you; your
friends will thank you; even barking loons on night buses will thank you.
But you won't be able to hear them. Because you'll be underground. Perfect.
Thanks for your support!
