Ecstatic Londoners rode the Night Tube on the Jubilee Line for the first time overnight.

Thousands of passengers boarded underground services between Stratford and Stanmore as the service launched on the line last night.

The line includes Canary Wharf, major stations Waterloo and London Bridge and is also close to two of London’s biggest venues; the O2 arena and Wembley Stadium.

Thrilled revellers took to Twitter to hail the introduction of the service a success.

Mary Read wrote: “I'm going to admit, yes, I am excited to travel on the #NightTube #JubileeLine.”

David Heasman added: “First day jubilee line is running on night tube AND I'M HERE #quiethistoryinthemaking”

And, Dan Jukes said: “Mad excited about taking my first #NightTube home down the Jubilee line tonight.”

The Night Tube first launched on August 19 on the Central and Victoria lines, with over 100,000 people making use of it in the first weekend.

Night Tube services on the Northern Line will launch on November 18.

The Piccadilly line is set to be added this autumn, although Transport for London has not given an exact date yet.

Mayor of London Sadiq Khan said previously: “The launch on the Jubilee line will support thousands more workers like nurses, cleaners and people who work in our bars and restaurants — many of whom currently take two night buses to get home. It will also serve some of our city’s key venues, with the O2, Wembley Stadium and Stratford on the route.”
