All answers may include N prefixed and 24hr routes unless I've stated otherwise. This quiz is to test your knowledge of routes, locations and allocations ;D.
1.) The year is 2008. Name a place where you might see three N prefixed routes with consecutive numbers.
2.) The year is 2008. Name an N route that does not go anywhere near Central London.
3.) Name three routes that run between Central London and West Ealing.
4.) What destinations would I be able to reach from The Grapes in the middle of the night?
5.) Discounting all 24hr routes, which day bus can I catch at 03:20?
6.) Name an N route I could jump on at 7:40am.
7.) On which route can I sample a Voith boxed Dart?

11.) Name an operator that only operates one route during the night. Metrobus is the only operator I can think of - operating 24-hour route 119.

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.
2. N86 Stratford - Harold Hill. Also N213 West Croydon - Kingston which stopped running this year.
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.
11. Metrobus.
