Unless otherwise stated, give answers complete with N-prefixed routes and not 24 hour routes  . 1. Name two night/24hr routes operated by rigid single deckers. 2. Where might I be able to travel on a bendy bus at night where I can't during the day? 3. Where might I be able to travel on a bendy bus during the day where I can't at night? 4. I saw a bus with a spiral staircase negotiating the south side of the roundabout at Trafalgar Square. Where was it going? 5. I saw London's "oldest" service decker showing a scheduled curtailment negotiating the roundabout at Trafalgar Square today. What route was it on? 6. Which route can I take to The Squirrells? 7. Name all buses which serve Crystal Palace at 2am. 8. On which route did I see a Scania chassis bus with East Lancs bodywork? 9. In which town may I find a bus stop where there are 3 times as many night routes as day routes. Extra point for naming this bus stop. Edit: Created Q9 as it was a duplicate Q5 before. |

First one - 72: East Acton - Roehampton. Not too sure about the other.
Third one - N38: Between Victoria and Walthamstow?
Seventh one - N3, 157 and N63.
Eighth one - 75.

1. (second answer) 108?
2. Enfield (on the N29)?
3. wild guess... between Sudbury and Paddington Green on the 18? (N18 is double-deck)
6. N89 (there's a stop named The Squirrels on Belmont Hill in Lewisham)

1) one of them is 285 (Kingston-Heathrow) which uses Enviro 200s day and night
2) Enfield (route N29)
8) could be N9 (night version of 267) but more likely N7 or 119

1. Yes I'll accept 72/108/285. Any more? 2. Correct, was thinking of the N29 between Enfield and Wood Green. The N38 isn't a bendy route however... 3. The N18 is one correct answer. There are four more possibilities  . 6. N89 is correct. 7. There are some routes missing. 8. Incorrect I'm afraid, the 75 isn't an N-route, same goes for the 119. Never seen a Scania on the N7/N9. |

1. 236? 3. N207, N38 and N73? 4. I'm guessing one of the golden oldies from either BK or U, so the N15 or N550 towards Canning Town or Beckton 5. N76?  8. I'd guess at the N551, as i'm sure the SO's make regular appearances from SI |

1. The 236 is another correct one. Thinking of one more...
4. N550 to Canning Town is correct, it was 17065 I saw
5. Not the N76
8. N551 with an SO is correct
Clue for question 5 - it's a route where only a fraction of buses are timetabled to run the full length.

In addition to no.7, I add the N137. |

5 might be N159 as at times, S reg DLA's which are the oldest service buses (other than RM's and not counting DLA1 as it's a trainer bus) and not sure but doesn't some journeys from Marble Arch run all the way through to New Addington (Homestead Way).

5. Is indeed the N159 and DLA2 was the bus I saw on it going as far as Streatham.
7. Still not all! 157, N3/63/137, any more?
