by Traveling on the London surface in a heat wave is not the most beautiful combination.
Filled with hordes of commuters, when the temperatures when the temperature rises, the commuters feel more uncomfortable than normal when traveling with the tube.
It is predicted that the temperatures exceed 30 ° C in some lines this summer. So if you know when the best time to jump on board can be a lifesaver.
Transport for London (TFL) advised people to pay attention to each other and ensure that they carry water when traveling.
If you want to plan your trip, you will find the most busy times and lines on the London underground.
What are the most busy times?
On weekdays, the main traffic time from 7.30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and the rush hour (5 p.m. to 7 p.m.) are usually regarded as the most busy times on the tube.
If you want to avoid large crowds, you can travel at quieter times, which TFL begins between 8.45 a.m. – when the rush hour begins – and 5 p.m.
The best time to avoid the rush between 5 p.m. and 6.30 p.m. advises experts to travel on weekdays after this point.
It is a different story on weekends, with TFL says the best times to travel when you want you to be a little quieter before noon and after 6.30 p.m.
However, TFL data also show that it is best to travel to the week on Mondays and Fridays in the office, as they are generally quieter days compared to Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.
The analysis has shown that 13 percent fewer customers travel on Monday morning with the remaining weekdays and 28 percent fewer customers at a summit on Friday morning.
What are the most busy lines?
The most busiest lines are generally considered Elizabeth line, north line, anniversary line, Victoria Line and Central Line.
TFL announced in January that the Elizabeth line has been organizing more than 500 million trips in the belt since the opening in 2022 and that it is officially the most common railway line in the United Kingdom.
According to the recent analysis by the Arup and TFL engineering office, the two main reasons why people used the route were shorter travel times and less exchange. The latest line of London makes more than 800,000 trips in the busiest days.
Do prices rise in the busiest times?
TFL invites higher tariffs in the busiest times of the day. You will be calculated more if you travel at peak times (listed above).
A top time tube tariff in Zone 1 on the London subsoil is currently around 2.80 GBP, while an off-peak tariff in the same zone is about 2.70 GBP
The zones also play an important role, with a trip to zone 1 is usually more expensive.
From March 2, the tube tariffs in different areas of the network will increase by different prices: A single Pay-YAU-GO tariff in Zone 1 will increase by 10 pence from its current price from 2.80 GBP.
The daily cap for travel only in zones 1 and 2 rises by 40p to 8.90 GBP per day. However, it is the cost of travel between zones 1 and 3 that rise the most, with the daily cap increasing to 10.50 GBP by 50p.
