Perhaps with the night tube suspended, they could have an owl with a blindfold.

The owl is called Becky. Named after Harry Beck of tube map fame

So let me get this straight. Have they just added a load of clutter to what they previously strived to be the clearest underground signage in the world?

the premature signage shouldn't be much of a problem - until the Night Tube starts, the stations will be closed at night, so you won't be able to see the signs which tell you that the line is open unless it is.

Perhaps TfL should direct the person behind all this to sort out bus stop M (or is it G?)

The owl could be named Olivia, or Oliver if male.

Perhaps if the symbol was a crow, the unions would been happier.

Nose? Birds don't have noses. The word you are in search of is "beak".

A much friendlier looking owl than the night bus equivalent! That one always looks very angry. This one is similar to the original night bus owl from the 80s.

Have you noticed that the sign on the Earls Court Gate covers the sign on the wall directing you through the gate so it can only be read when the gate is closed !
How difficult can it be to stick bits of tape over the night service notices until it starts ?

On your 'at Euston' link you say the northern line needs an owl. Well there isn't room unless they put it underneath. Pity they didn't think of that when they did the victoria ones !

Nice to hear that TfL have someone who can think things through clearly, even if it's all posted a tad prematurely. Specially after the Bow Rd bus stop debacle!

Shame they haven't bothered to put the owl on the Northern Line (Charing Cross branch), seeing as that WILL have a night service.

The Night Owl logo is only necessary as long as not all lines in the central interchange area work 24h.
Of course, when implemented it will be a great success.. and all the luddites will have to eat their hats.

@Kev
"Have you noticed that the sign on the Earls Court Gate covers the sign on the wall directing you through the gate so it can only be read when the gate is closed ! "
But the sign is duplicated on the gate itself. The original sign can be removed as it can't be seen when the gate is open and when the gate is closed there should be no-one on that side (the District side of the gate anyway.
Looking at the Finchley Road sign, it appears to have been designed to be read by people lying on the floor. TfL clearly know their market.

Don't mention bus stops in Bow, I did it once but think I got away with it. As for the "night tube"...I guess the big push is to have it all up and running in time for those delightful "office parties" & "festive holidays".

The "reduced footprint" stations that may need gates are - Baker Street, Bank Monument, Canning Town, Charing Cross, Earl's Court, Embankment, Euston, Gloucester Road, King's Cross, Liverpool Street, London Bridge, Notting Hill Gatre, Oxford Circus, Piccadilly Circus, South Kensington, Stratford, Victoria, and West Ham.

Plus Canada Water and Highbury and Islington for the Overground (the latter already has gates for the Great Northern)

And Waterloo (Bakerloo vs Northern and Jubilee)

Oh, do be quiet.

'Tooting'? 'Becky'? I can't think that there's any connection with Tooting Bec.
I guess 'Tooting' sounds closest to 'hooting'. Not close enough, though, really.

I don't understand what the point of sticking owls all over station signage is.
Were people planning on wandering down to the platforms on the off chance their line might have a train then?!

I actually didn't realise it wasn't already running... oops!

Blimey that website's interesting, and detailed, and extensive, thanks!
The web address makes me wonder whether TfL expect it to be public-facing one day.

It is worth adding that TfL are also updating Bus Spider Maps to reflect Daily or Weekend Night Bus routes. Those updated maps also feature the Night Tube Owl at relevant interchange points.
Canada Water - http://content.tfl.gov.uk/bus-route-maps/canada-water-120915.pdf
Owls everywhere although bizarrely not at North Greenwich which will have a Night Tube service. If TfL are reading you've got an update to make!

So they need Notting Hill Gate gates but not Lancaster Gate gates, Moorgate gates, Highgate gates or Aldgate gates.

( I don't suppose many people will want to go anywhere near Southgate in the middle of the night anyway )

The process of putting in a closable barrier is known as installation of "Physical Object Routing for Transit Customers on Underground Lines InfraStructure." *
Or erecting a portcullis for short.
*may be a lie to get a backronym.

What is the point of sticking these owls everywhere but not explaining the services will only run on two days a week?
Kim | 16.10.15 - 11:58 a.m. | #

Actually, its not going to affect Friday at all. All the extra trains will be running on Saturday and Sunday.
