Easy......NEVER use a night bus...ever!

Only been to London once and went on an open top bus during the day, so sorry cant help.

Used them for years when I was younger. Never had any problems. I suppose it depends on the routes you use. Probably a different story now, kids these days are into knives like we were into gonks.

I have to admit, sick was often a feature of the decour.

I was young and scared moonie. A man who saw what was happening came to my rescue and pulled him out of the seat. He jumped off the bus at the next stop

So far, not good

Looks like paying £30 for a taxi is a reasonable option

oh, and thanks everyone

you ought to have told him " do that again and my hand will touch your face very fast mister " - he wouldnt have done it again.

Night buses are ok. I always stay sitting downstairs, though.

Just watch out for one particular driver on the N91. He seems to think it's a roller-coaster - we were all hanging on to the seats!!!

I used to regularly get a night bus when I was younger....always sat downstairs and never had a problem.

I get the night bus sometimes, and have never had any bad experiences. I always sit downstairs as well though.

Always take a taxi

Is downstairs better? Do the nutters sit upstairs?

It's alright, he's been transferred to the N5.

I'm sure they like the added amusement of seeing how many drunks they can get to fall over when they go around particular corners

Does anyone have any experience/horror stories? A friend of mine described them as vomit wagons Would like to know what to expect in case I have to use them at some point

I've used them in all parts of london, and some not so nice areas, with no problem at all. I think it helps in you know what bus you need and where you are going. Look confidant, and sit downstairs.

I was involuntarily groped once by an arabic bloke on the Central Line once. That was interesting.

I used to leave my umbrella on night buses all the time because I was pissed. They must have thousands.

My husband is a Black taxi driver and had a bloke ask him to take him to Heaven last night...he said 'what, the club?' and the bloke said no and just pointed skywards.

He told him to piss off and drove off.

At least he asked him BEFORE he got in.

I moved house on the night bus once. Four journeys between 3am and 5am, and I did it at that time so the landlord wouldn't see me moving out and ask for the outstanding rent.

The bus driver wasn't very happy when I tried to board with the coffee table, even though I offered to pay extra for it

Night buses in the London are hilarious All the freaks come out & congregate in one place - I've learnt some much on the N97

If you're worried stay downstairs - and don't whatever you do make eye contact with anyone

Things is - we get rightly criticised for not talking to eachother in London & on these journeys all inhibtitions are removed
