For Q13, does the night bus route have to be running today to be accepted? No any night route that has never served Trafalgar Square is acceptable but bear in mind some routes have served Trafalgar Square in previous incarnations (ie N2 doesn't serve now but did on previous routeings so would be incorrect)

For Question 3, can it be any garages that exists today (even it is just been opened in the past 10 years or so) or does that garage have to be opened before a certain period?
For Question 15, can any School Routes be used as a answer or does it have to be a normal route that doesn't run on Sundays?

As you can see certain answers cost everyone dear (312 as TC single decker was a whopping 6 pointer and 482 terminating at Heathrow was another 5) finding a balance between a unique answer and a popular choice is challenging but it can be done with a generous helping of luck

Well done to all, there were some questions there that really made you think. It is quite clear from the answers that the most obvious suggestions are seldom picked.
I await with excitement for the March edition :-)
