LONDON BRIDGE --- SOUTHALL Brent Road ( except Sat night )
This Route was previously numbered 289 but was part of a scheme to renumber all night routes in the "N" series to make available the numbers for the trolleybus replacement routes although this number remained vacant until 1968 and was used for a local route in the Thornton Heath area
 |
|---|
| Scanned from May 1961 Red Book A careful study shows that the last three arrivals at London Bridge had a relief before returning to Riverside Garage - at this time timetables did not reveal garage journeys therefore Shepherds Bush is the last timing point shown although buses worked in service to Hammersmith |

LONDON BRIDGE -- SOUTHALL Brent Road ( except Sat night )
Meal relief point moved from London Bridge to Liverpool Street - buses running out of service between the two points
 |
|---|
| A study of the timetable reveals that in order to minimise alterations to the timetable for meal relief purposes the 0206 and 0250 journeys from Brent Road were cut back to Southall Garage and the departures from Southall were earlier to allow time for the dead run to Liverpool Street. The start and finish times remained the same |
