I agree with Vjaska a N96 from North Greenwich to Datford with a Friday & Saturday extension to Bluewater is a great idea and would also provide the Bexeyheath to Woolwich night bus link.

Although it is the opposite of what the OP is asking about, I personally think that the night service on Bus 94 is an unnecessary duplication of the N207 (the two follow each other all the way from Oxford Circus to Shepherd's Bush Green). The western terminus of the 94 is within walking distance of Shepherd's Bush Green. However an hourly service (to begin with) from Notting Hill Gate to Staines might be an idea - following the 94 to Goldhawk Road Station and then the 237 route to Hounslow Bus Station and then the 117 route onto Staines via Feltham and Ashford.

Yes, an N94 to Staines would be good.

Having recently traveled on a jam-packed number 4 bus for its entire length, I couldn't help wonder if it would be useful at night as it travels around many roads which aren't served by other night routes and links places not linked by other buses, IMO it could do with a frequency increase. Would rerouting the N41 via the 4 from angel to Aldwych then on to Trafalgar Square instead of going via rosebery avenue be worth it since there are already enough night services down rosebery avenue and I think that the 4 would be quite well used at night aswell. I wouldn't route via the northern part (Magdala Avenue,Dartmouth Park, Tufnell Park, Tufnell Park Road, Finsbury Park, Blackstock Road). Because it is already well served and a waste of journey time.

Maybe an N4 from Finsbury Park to Aldwych and then to Trafalgar Square rather than Waterloo?

Yes, an N94 to Staines would be good. I don't think the western terminus is walking distance ! Obviously both the N207 & N94 will be affected by night tube. I agree with an extension of the (n)94 , but from existing terminus not Notting Hill. You cant leave Acton Green without a night service in my opinion. The area to the North of the bus stand there is high density housing and quite a walk from the N11 or N9 or from any night tube station.

It can still serve Acton green if it goes further past chiswick Park and then on to chiswick high road rather than via Stamford brook

A Mayor's Question was posed about a night service on White Hart Lane in Tottenham. The Mayor has now answered - note the interesting comment from TfL about if weekend routes do well they will check the viability of running every night of the week.
