16 New Year s Eve, Saturday 31 December Travel advice If you decide to travel on New Year s Eve: Plan your return journey before you leave home. Remember travelling back may be easier from another station or bus stop, so check the options for your return journey before you go. Listen out for news of any changes to your journey or to arrangements for the fireworks display. It will be necessary for certain stations to close temporarily to avoid these becoming overcrowded be prepared to queue for a long time. Be aware that some stations will be exit only and you may not be able to return the same way you arrived. If using Embankment station you will only be able to leave via Villiers Street. Follow directions from the police and stewards outside Embankment station. From 2000 until 0100, access to Westminster Bridge will be from south of the river only. Pedestrians will not be able to access Golden Jubilee Bridges after Access across the bridges will be reinstated from around 0030, or when the majority of the crowds have dispersed. Allow plenty of time to travel to the fireworks display because the viewing areas fill up early in the evening and latecomers will not be able to see the show. Don t forget there are many local events to consider which may make your journey easier. 28 Safety advice New Year s Eve is all about fun and celebration and we want you to have a great time. The British Transport Police will be patrolling trains and stations to help ensure a safe and enjoyable event. Please remember: Crowds attending the fireworks display make the event unsuitable for buggies. Be alert for any unattended bags or suspect packages. If you see something that looks suspicious, please contact a Police Officer, event steward or a member of Transport for London staff. Pickpockets operate in large crowds so keep your valuables well-hidden or leave them at home. Lost property can cause a security alert which could disrupt your night. Keep your possessions with you at all times particularly while travelling. Meeting up with friends is easiest and safest before you set out. Large crowds make stations an unsuitable meeting place. Please drink responsibly, and bring all New Year cheer in plastic bottles or cans. No glass please! Please remember drinking alcohol or carrying open containers of alcohol is banned on Tube, bus, DLR, London Overground and tram services. Finally, if you need the toilets or first aid facilities in the area of the fireworks, please ask a member of staff. 29

Always use a licensed taxi (black cab) or book your minicab through a licensed operator. If your minicab is not booked then it is not legal and not safe. Remember when using minicabs always book your vehicle with a licensed operator by phone, or in an office, make sure the driver can confirm your name and destination and check the driver s ID and sit in the back and carry a mobile phone in case of emergency. Booking your minicab means your trip will be carried out by a licensed, insured driver in a licensed, insured vehicle. It also means that a record is kept of your journey, your driver and the vehicle used so, in the event of any problems, the driver can be traced. Don t risk taking an illegal cab.
