Perhaps he only takes notice of N-prefixed night bus routes - they
used to be the only night buses in town. However some years ago TfL
started running some night buses on the exact same route as their day
equivalents - rather than having an N-prefix, these services are
described as "24 hour" instead.

Not always the "exact same route" thus the 65 is extended from
Kingston to Chessington at night.

Quite often in fact. The 10 (the only night bus service I've ever caught,
to get an early train at Euston) only goes to Putney at night.

Err no actually. The 65 is unique in running further at night than
during the day but not having a "N" prefix to show the difference. The
N10 was withdrawn and replaced by a 24 hours route 10 to Hammersmith
with the 24 hours 33 running from Hammersmith to Fulwell. The section
through Putney is no longer covered.

So, if I was still staying at my mother's in Putney (she died in 2012 and I
stopped working in london in 2011) I couldn't get an early train from Euston
any more?
