Metrobus is the only operator I can think of - operating 24-hour route 119.

[6HP502C]

Owen 76 - spot on ;D.

Panthro - correct, I was looking for Metrobus (119). I can't accept the N13 as they're branded Transdev who also operate the N9.

Snowman - N213 correct, 285 is one possibility and the N9 is one possibility.

vjaska - Both correct.

Still looking for the answers to 4& 5 and other possibilities for 6 & 8.

4). Uxbridge and Holborn (route N207)
Other possibility for 6): N5, Sunday morning (towards Edgware, arr. 08:05). You could also have N20, Sunday morning (towards Barnet, arr. 07:51)
Other possibility for 8): 72.

5.) The 358 from Green Street Green (Metrobus Garage) at 03:19.
What a crafty question - took me forever to get that one!!

8.) Scheduled: 245, 187, 487, 226, A10, 331, 493, 380, D3, E5, E7, 350
Unscheduled: 224, 66, 33, T33, 112

I'm sure there are many more since it is such a common bus in London!

As its a Night Bus Quiz, Q8 is asking for which Night or 24 hour route uses e200s, not which routes use e200s. I know it doesn't say there but the title kind of says it all really.

Full list of answers here as most of them have been guessed, give yourself a pat on the back if you got the correct answers ;D.

1. N8/N9/N10 at Hyde Park (no longer the case since the N8 was cut to Oxford Circus this year).
That was the obvious one. I was hoping someone would say N9/N10/N11 at Hammersmith.

3. N7, N11, N207.

4. Holborn, Uxbridge, Heathrow Central and Harrow Weald.

5. 358 which starts at Green Street Green at 03:19. You can always see this bus on any journey of the N3, no matter what time you're on it!

6. N5, N9, N20 and N91.

7. 214.

8. 72 and 285.

9. 53 and 472.

10. 108.
