Now is that 340 services a day (unlikely!), week or month?

Nothing on Peter Batchelor's website as yet.

I also heard the news item (7pm 3LO).  The extra services were to be
weekends and peaks, so presumably the northern and western lines retain
their 20 min headway during the week?  Also no reference to night services.

Does anyone have any more details on the services - whether it's an odd
extra one here and there, or whether they entail significant frequency
increases on particular days (a 15-20 min minimum across the network at all
times would be good!).
