Evening all!

I can date it as far back as 1949, and I suspect it goes back even
further, perhaps to the creation of the London Passenger Transport Board
in 1933. In 1949 it was the "London Termini Inter-Station Bus Service"
and ran "Daily (Christmas Day Excepted)" for a fare of one shilling (5p
in new money). But it was primarily an evening service, operating every
half hour from about 7 p.m. to midnight, then with an extra service
around 4 a.m. It operated from Kings Cross to Waterloo via Euston,
Paddington and Victoria, and vice versa.

By 1961 though it had shrunk to a few fitful workings around midnight,
but was still advertised in the railway timetable.
