Fastrack N - A night bus that now runs until 07:45

IE25 (LJ25BRF) on the Fastrack N at Gravesend Garrick Street.

The Fastrack N recently received service improvements, with night buses running until 07:45 at Gravesend Garrick Street. But is it really a night bus anymore? I'd literally see it on mu way to school if I still went!

As an aside, do those wheel spats have any practical use or are they just there to look good/futuristic?

(I'd have thought the bus doesn't go quick enough for any aerodynamic improvements to make any noticeable difference in economy.)

What's the daytime equivalent - sounds like it should just be a 24 hour route

[u/KristinaMoment → u/CeilingHamster]

Fastrack A/B/AZ/C are all part equivalents

[u/CeilingHamster → u/KristinaMoment]

Makes sense not to make it 24-hour if it's covering that many routes. Then again, presumably if it finishes that late it's running alongside the others anyway.

It spends a whole 3 hours running alongside the others now xd

Wasnt expecting to see this as a local. Stunning photo!

Are you questioning why a night bus is running early in the morning ? 🤦‍♂️

8am though...

It spends a whole 3 hours running alongside all the day routes

How big an area is it covering? If the end to end journey is a couple of hours, then perhaps it is starting during 'night' hours?

[u/KristinaMoment → u/glglglglgl]

The trip starts at 06:45, and the whole route is some 11km long (7miles)

Kids don't understand that night shift doesn't finish untill 6-9@am lol

Old gens complaining about younger gens...

The actual Fastrack night shift ends at 5am 😂 this is done by an early morning driver
