Default Night buses


Is the 102 the only route which is described as being a 24-hour bus, but in
reality has different termini for day and night (Brent Cross in the day,
Golders Green in the small hours)?

Is the N29 the only bus where half of the buses stop short (on Friday and
Saturday nights, half the buses terminate at Wood Green)?

BTW, I am mildly amused by the timetables for the N29 which tell you in big
letters that there is a bus ever 6-8 minutes, with a footnote saying that
the following buses only go to Wood Green, giving the exact times of the 50%
which are short journeys... no-one realised that giving the exact times of
the long journeys might be more useful than giving the exact times of the
short ones... or just giving the times of all the buses, utilizing the fact
that the timetable repeats every hour anyway. As usual with TfL information,
a one-size-fits-all policy is applied to everything, with little care to
special cases.
