So, to me you either go all in, and make it a cohesive network so people are actually able to use the services at night, or you don't bother at all.

The thing they've done this time to try and make it more attractive is making the fares palatable for most passengers, but the issue still remains that unless you live and are travelling to a place directly on one of the routes, you're screwed.

Even running a very limited service on some of the other key routes, such as the X-Lines network, or the 49, 27 etc. would make it so the night buses aren't only of for the people living in city centres!

But tbf only places that would be open after normal services stop would be in the city centres. You wouldn't have a night bus going from wardley to lobley hill, just dont see point in night buses if they dont connect workers or city centre nightlife
