Same every year, shouldn't need a sponsor. Fares are high enough and should cover those few hours for free.

I'm going to take advantage and ride the tube all night long - that'll teach em :man:

Terrorism... What terrorism? Did you mean a potentially increased risk of extremist activity in the UK due to warmongering politicians too stupid to realise they are being sold another dodgy dossier by an even dodgier PM? Those Judaeo-Christian extremists who enjoy actually terrorising the millions of innocent ME citizens corralled into killing fields by historic geopolitical manipulation and divisive western foreign policy?

The small number of recently murdered people in Paris pales compared to the hundreds of thousands British Governments have played a major role in collaterally damaging.

We didn't stop using public transport or spending fun evenings out when the IRA were busily and regularly demolishing parts of Northern Ireland and mainland Britain. So why stop now?

Last time I did London transport on New Years eve I got mugged in the queue for the station ...wouldnt go anywhere near there New year again. The amount of people trying to get onto transport is shocking and i also wouldnt trust it on New year with terroism atm. But heads up for reminding people.

I'm confident whinging Cockernees will find something to complain about.

Wouldn't go on any even if they paid me.

don't let the unions hear this talk of tubes and night time, combined with holiday season - that will just make them want to call a strike :stuck_out_tongue:

No staff working will also mean no safety for passengers...

Yep

Heat added.

Interesting post, if only to find out who TFL managed to get to "sponsor" it this year (can't say I've heard of Kayak - which makes me wonder if a few bigger companies have decided to steer clear of sponsoring it this year due to the heightened terrorism threat and thus perceived risk to brand if the worst happened).

As for transport being jammed, not everyone travels in central London! The buses in the suburbs will be just as free as those taking the fireworks ticket holders home.

Surely this is not free money as such.
I suspect TFL must've got their money from council tax received from each of the 33 London boroughs contributions.

Same as every year - but yeah good to remind people. It gets insanely crowded though (stating the obvious) and should be avoided, if one can.

cheers op..

... or being forced off because you used an iPad suspiciously.

Free in 2017 too!! Hang on I'll wait a couple of months before posting that one....

Free from 11.45pm. means you have to pay to go where ever you want to come back from.
Plus isnt the Fireworks all ticket this year, not sure how they are going to police that ?

Thanks you!
