The night bus network is very interesting (to me at least anyways, already being on the Deptford night rota). I do think having the same as day time routes helps a lot, and think this could help the 56 get even stronger with more links for Nissan. A few regulars already go to Newcastle and I have a feeling the have a bit of a walk home after they get off in Market Street. I'm sure other shift workers will be equally as happy, but I think there could be a few more links elsewhere in the network, an all night number 4 as well as the 20. I'm glad the night network seems to cover the whole Metro network during the night too.
Another point, a lot of these "superbus green routes" are currently at every 12 minutes or 15 minutes, I wonder if this means more investment in putting them back to every 10 minutes, as there's not many 10 minute services anymore. Take the 20 for example, there's been 4 streetlites taken out of the PVR since they were first introduced back in 2016, all of which would probably need to be put back in to make it a reliable 10 minute service again.
