A great shame as I would be able to make use of it now. I wish the 96 ran all night. Yes, it seems like a route which a lot of people might need at night, especially considering it goes to Darent Valley Hospital. Maybe a N96 - Queens Elizabeth Hospital to Darent Valley Hospital should run to give both Hospitals a night services |

This timeline makes me realise it would have been the N80 I used to catch rather than the NX1 - forgot all about that bus! Half-price discount if you had a travelcard, if I remember rightly.
