To Follow, (and to save the board's resources)

(some pics are taken when I was half of a sober. geeezzzz i like buses [sad, very sad] )

N6 and N12 has been cancelled by the 24-hr bus service scheme in March and Nov. 2004 respectively?

N14 was cancelled well early in 2002 Oct (Its just a random guess, dun quote me pls.)

N11 is my local night bus route. having lived en-route for 17 months, I have never got a proper picture of the route........well, try not to look too odd in my local area, at least?? #:-/

I would like to ask is it save to take these night bus service
in London? Is any boardmates occured any incidents on
those service?

I'd say its 'fairly' safe to take the night bus between 1.30 - 3am,  4am - last bus.

U dun want to travel at the midnight ones.  Too many jerks!  they are loud, noisy, have no respect to whoever.  Basically, you'd be expected to travel (to stand) with animals........
A cattle truck would say my words~~  Plus the bus will be packed anyway, so it will take 3 hrs to do a 80-minute journey anyway.  So I personally will take the cab / get the later bus home or just simply play snooker (if i'm not in a club / party) til dawn.

U dun wana get on the 3am ones neither, cos that's when the late license pubs / bars finishes.  you'll get pilk at (viomit on) likely or at least a fight on the bus.  Expect to travel with loads of sobers, a bus full of them.  But my local route - N11 'usually' have a police petrol on the 3am journey (police are changing shift that time maybe??) So sometimes I'll get that bus.

After the 3am chaos are homed, the night service is 'quiet and claim' again til dawn when the 'extersies' arrives    But usually they are too high to get on to buses, so they'll just sit on any pavements / streets / Mac-Ds  until they can get trains.

So generally, I would say it is 'fairly' safe to travel on them.

But then again these departures tend to be quite packed, so actually it
is safer, even it's noisy and annoying. I agree that the first few buses
of each night services (N9 is an exception) is very slow. Remember I
have been on a N91 on a Saturday night a few years back, and it took
almost an hour JUST to get through Charing Cross Road.

lol.........that's bcos of the bloody lights at Traf Sq. and Charing X rd.  After the bus flag and lay-over point 're-plotting' and the new traffic light arrangements in Traf Sq.  It is rarely seen any night bus got stucked in the Trafalgar Sq. area now.
