Full Route Visual | London bus N242: Homerton Hospital - Tottenham Court Road | HV240

Back in September 2018, TFL proposed a consultation for some Central London routes. One example was cutting 67 back to Dalston while re-routing 242 to Aldgate to replace it and making a new night route to replace the old section of 242. TFL went ahead with most of it proposals including this one and that’s how this route came to be. There was another consultation not too long ago where TFL wanted to renumber this route to N135 and have 135 follow 242 from Aldgate to Homerton with 242 withdrawn, but it seems like they didn't go ahead with it.
Route N242 operates between Homerton Hospital and Tottenham Court Road via Chatsworth Road, Clapton Park, Hackney Central, Dalston Junction, Haggerston, Hoxton, Shoreditch, Liverpool Street, Bank, St Paul’s, City Thameslink, Holborn Circus, Chancery Lane and Holborn.

Dang, surprisingly your the first ever person to do a route visual on the N242

I mean, route 242 isn't the most glamorous route in London (that's to say no route in London is eye-catching anymore)

Unlike it’s day route, it doesn’t, it goes the other way from Shoreditch High St Station towards Liverpool St, Bank, St Paul’s, Chancery Lane and Holborn, before terminating at Tottenham Ct Road, instead of going to Aldgate, like it’s day route would from Shoreditch High St Station, it’s basically covering the old route of the 242 to St Paul’s, with an additional extension of its own to Tottenham Ct Road via Chancery Lane & Holborn!
