Weren't all the N prefixes on the night routes going to be done away with and there were just going to be 24hr routes? And your source for that belief? I've never heard of such a proposal. It would make no sense given the night network has to be different to the day one in order to replicate tube and rail links. The "N" prefix is used to highlight that difference. |

I'm sure it was a pronouncement from Ken when he was Mayor that wherever possible routes would be 24hr rather than have a N prefix. |

Yes, I seem to recall the 166 going all the way to Beckenham via village way which is now covered by the 367. As a youngster, I remember some of the prefix routes like the 171A and the 22A/B. The 171 and 171A were completely different routes? Same with the 22 and 22A/B  You have just reminded me of the Saturdays service 185A, which ran with the 185 from Lewisham to Camberwell Green then branched off up Walworth Road to Elephant and Castle. Yes, from what I recall, it operated out of Q along with the 185. Sunday to Friday Route 185 was operated from TL. Route 185A was designed to add extra buses between Camberwell and Forest Hill as the 176 didn't operate past East Dulwich on Saturdays and to add extra capacity to the 185 to Lewisham. |
