I assume you mean the terraced streets of Mossley Hill, i.e. those off Allerton Road before the library, as Allerton itself doesn't begin until the junction with Rose Lane. You're right though, there are quite a few student homes around there and Elm Hall Drive.

Excellent news though about the night 86 service returning. I was amazed when it was withdrawn several years back, as it always seemed to do well. The weekday night workings when it was a 24 hour service did vary somewhat, but there were often good loads on the weekend ones including those ran by Peoplesbus. It certainly loaded better on weekends than the likes of the N450 did. With the right level of advertising, there is no reason why this shouldn't be a success, given the extortionate price of hackney cabs. I'll certainly be taking advantage of it.
