[vjaska]

3) N159 (Routes 159, 109, 466) although the section between Addington Village and New Addington would require a fourth route.

4) N7 - Yeading

[6HP502C]

1.) The N28 is one correct answer.
2.) Not Loughton or Watford.
3.) Not the N136 or N31.
5.) N3 is one correct answer.

[eggmiester]

2.)
Ruislip. Stations are: Ruislip, West Ruislip, Ruislip Gardens, Ruislip Manor and South Ruislip.


5.)
N3, C.Palace & Bromley North
N159, Streatham & New Addington
N29, Wood Green and Enfield Town
N98, Willesden & Stanmore
N207, Hayes By Pass & Uxbridge

and just to complete the only 6 routes that do this:
N18, Sudbury & Harrow Weald.

[6HP502C]

2.) Ruislip is correct, nearest night buses are at Hillingdon, Harrow Weald and Northolt
3.) Not the N159, it doesn't cover all of the 466. Not the N31/N136 as they only emulate one route in full.
4.) N7 is correct (Yeading)

5.) N3/N18/N29/N98/N159/N207 are all correct, however there are two other routes I know that also count.

6.)
a.) The N91 yes, the N9 just about, although it follows a slightly different line of route for some of the way.
b.) N8 is correct
c.) N550/551 correct.
d.) N5 and N20 are two possibilities.
e.) N73 yes, N38 no.

7.) N86 no. The route has to be 100% identical to the day routing, including turning points. A clue is that it's related to Q5.

Question 9: That would be the 329 (N29 during teh night)

[Jack]

6f.N76 ?

A couple more answers/guesses for Q6 and Q7:

a) N97?
d) N155
e) N2, Victoria to Brixton
f) N76

7) N52, it's the only N route I can find that's 100% percent identical.
