No matter how lofty his aspirations are and whether he really harbours ambitions to be our country’s next Prime Minister, Boris still has the uncanny knack of being Boris.

As the Mayor of London since 2008 you think he would have a good grasp of what the plans are for the Night Tube – the new night service on Fridays and Saturdays in London.

Well, if this video is evidence to go by, then he really doesn’t.

Night tube will ‘begin in July’

Shot earlier today, when he met some of the part-time drivers that will man the service, Boris Johnson managed to confuse both himself and the people he was speaking to when he suggested the service will run all week.




In the same meeting he confirmed that, if everything goes to plan, the Night Tube will start running in July.

This has since been confirmed by Transport for London, so at least he got something right.
