N205 has a stop to itself when turning from the main road towards Stratford City (and vice versa in opposite direction) - different routing to 108 to avoid the low bridge. It's called Warton Road. Oops already listed my apologies! Never mind. I could have sworn there used to be a bus stop somewhere in central London only served by N routes as well but not sure it still exists. At a push, there is a bus stop at London Bridge only tiled for N21 and N343, but other routes call at stops right next to it, so doesn't really count There used to be more when n550 / n551 ran through the embankment! It was the N550 that ran through Embankment before Thames Water works for a super-sewer saw the N550 permanently rerouted away via Ludgate Circus & Fleet Street. Before that the N550 definitely had the most bus stops served only by a night route; from Temple and Embankment station stops to one stop on Northumberland Avenue (southbound) in central London. Then there's a stop of old that no one's mentioned yet- Poplar All Saints Church. Before October 2016, this stop was only served by the N550 but TfL's plans for bus development in the Isle of Dogs saw the D8 serve that stop when it was rerouted in the Poplar area. I'm pretty sure that stop held some longevity record with the N550 and the N50 before it, I reckon 21 years. The N8 serving a stop in Hainult on its own, I'm all too aware it's down to a reroute of the 462 a couple years ago that saw the return trip to Ilford call at Kielder Close when the 462 terminated at Hainult, The Lowe. RandomBusesGirl I think I know what you're on about. I remember Drury Lane being served by night buses only at one point. It was in the height of Crossrail works grinding Holborn to a halt. Somewhere the decision was taken for the 1 and 242 not to serve that stop so both day routes can navigate the 4 lane junction quicker & avoid the gridlocked traffic heading to Cambridge Circus. Both the 1 and 242 served the High Holborn stop before New Oxford Street, leaving the N1, N68 and N171 to serve Drury Lane at night. I distinctly remember this being the case as I check the stop now & it's served by routes 1 and 8 during the day. Pretty sure that temporary change wasn't officially reflected in documents!

Is that the stop on Bazely street? It’s also the terminating point for D7

It’s also the terminating point for D7 Technically they are different bus stops: stop ID 54994 is for the last stop on the D7, whilst stop ID 48455 is for buses serving the D8.
