New Routemaster: London hours of operation
- This gallery contains representative images only - for all images available, see the individual route galleries.
Images relating to the hours of operation of the New Routemaster on the London bus routes it's now used on. They operate in one of three ways:
24 hour routes
[edit]Routes 10, 12, 24, 148, 390 and 453 are 24 hour operations - New Routemasters are in service 24 hours a day, using the same route number throughout.

Combined day & Night routes
[edit]Routes 8 / N8, 38 / N38, 55 / N55 and 73 / N73 also see New Routemasters in use 24 hours a day, by virtue of being used on the day time route number (which usually runs from around 6am to around midnight), as well as the equivalent N-prefixed night route. The distinction exists because the day route is usually substantially shorter than the night route.

Day routes with non-Routemaster N-prefix buses
[edit]Routes 9, 11, 15 and 137 only see New Routemaster operation during the day (around 6am to around midnight) portion of the route, with other types being used on the N-prefix version of the route (not necessarily by the same operator/garage).
