With the introduction of All night tube on various lines. TFL and The Government / Boris has forgot about
CRIME
On the London Undergground Crime is rife with sex attacks, robberies in the day.
At night it will be worse, so my question would be - are they going to supply police officers to travel on these trains, as probably station offices will be closed.
Yes, there will be CCTV, but that wont help if someone is being attacked is it.

Staffing levels are not changing. They have introduced shifts for the staff, which is one of the Union gripes. So yes, the stations will be staffed overnight.
It's also worth noting that a large percentage of the stations on the lines staying open overnight are underground. Regardless of TFL's wishes or desires, health and safety law REQUIRES that these stations be staffed when open.
Oh, and you might want to check your figures before starting the tube is rife on the tube,particularly page 11 of
https://www.tfl.gov.uk/cdn/static/cm...tin-q11415.pdf . In 2014/2015 there have been 2,337 notifiable offences on the tube and DLR. When you consider that in the same period, over 1.3 billion journeys were made on the tube and 110 million on the DLR, that does not sound like much crime.
