NICE n22 Bus Schedule: Jamaica, Mineola and Hicksville

NICE n22 is the Hillside Avenue local route serving Jamaica, Queens Village, New Hyde Park and Nassau County destinations including Mineola, Roosevelt Field, Westbury and Hicksville on relevant trips or branches.

The current official NICE line page is labeled effective October 18, 2026. The timetable combines different service patterns in one table; some rows begin at Jamaica, while others start from Mineola or Roosevelt Field.

Important: Not every n22 bus goes from Jamaica to Hicksville. Some trips operate shorter portions or use different branch terminals. A dash in the official timetable means that trip does not serve the listed timepoint. Read the complete trip row.

How to Identify the Correct Stop

  1. Find the exact route name n22 on the physical stop sign.
  2. Read the vehicle’s destination, not just its route number.
  3. Check whether your stop serves that direction.
  4. Check the schedule for your particular branch.
  5. Use the NICE stop search or recommended tracker to verify arrival information.

When planning the walking portion from a train station or bus terminal, our Google Maps transit routes and stop-location guide explains how to check the correct side of the street, walking distance and the distinction between scheduled and predicted arrival times.

London N22 Night Bus Schedule: Fulwell to Oxford Circus

London’s TfL N22 night bus connects South Road/Fulwell with Margaret Street/Oxford Circus via Twickenham, Richmond, Putney, Chelsea, Knightsbridge and central London.

It is an overnight service. A departure at 00:40 means 12:40 AM on the following calendar day when reading an evening-to-morning timetable.

Fulwell Towards Oxford Circus: Scheduled Examples

StopFirst listed tripFollowing night departuresLast listed trip
South Road / Fulwell 11:40 PM 12:10, 12:40, 1:10, 1:40 AM; then approximately every 30 minutes 5:40 AM

Ruvigny Gardens, Stop G 12:06 AM 12:36, 1:06, 1:36, 2:06, 2:36 AM 6:12 AM

Examples are stop-specific published TfL times. They should not be used for another stop or the reverse direction.

Oxford Circus Towards Fulwell

For the return journey, use TfL’s direction toward South Road / Fulwell. The departure time changes according to the stop. For example, TfL lists N22 at Sloane Street/Knightsbridge Station, Stop KK, from approximately 12:37 AM, with further departures around every half-hour and the last listed trip at 5:27 AM.

Night bus timing tip A London night bus beginning before midnight continues into the next morning. When planning a Saturday-night journey after midnight, select the correct TfL service-night/date setting rather than accidentally using the next day’s daytime timetable.

  2. Select the destination: Oxford Circus or South Road/Fulwell.
  3. Find the bus stop name and letter shown on the physical stop sign.

Disability and accessible boarding

N22 Accessibility, Wheelchairs and Reduced-Fare Travel

Accessible vehicle equipment and accessible stop access are two separate questions. Roadwork, temporary stops, curb conditions or station lifts can change whether a planned journey is workable.

Long Island NICECheck vehicle ramp access, stop location, qualifying reduced fares and whether the particular stop has safe curb access.
London TfLLondon buses support wheelchair-accessible boarding; check temporary diversions, bus-stop access and service notices.
Chicago CTACTA states that its buses are accessible. Confirm the overnight stop and any temporary relocation affecting the boarding path.

Accessible Journey Micro-Steps

  1. Confirm the correct N22 operator and direction.
  2. Locate the exact boarding and exit stops.
  3. Read the operator’s accessible-travel information.
  4. Check temporary stop closures and pedestrian access.
  5. Verify the required payment or reduced-fare program.
  6. Contact the transit operator if a ramp, lift or usable curb is uncertain.
What to do when service changes

N22 Detours, Delays and Missed Buses

The bus does not show your destination. Check whether you have a NICE n22 short trip, n22X express or the wrong travel direction.
Your stop has moved. Find the official replacement stop number or letter. Do not assume the bus will board at the usual pole during roadworks.
You missed a night bus in London. Check the exact N22 stop timetable and live arrivals for the next scheduled service. Allow extra time for late-night transfers.
Your PDF shows different times. Check its effective date. NICE’s current n22 page is marked October 18, 2026; an older September timetable may differ.

If you are comparing alternate travel options, our Queens QM2 express bus timetable and stop guide can help with a separate Queens corridor. QM2 is not a direct substitute for every n22 journey; compare your actual origin and destination first.

Time-sensitive alert rule This article does not guarantee that a stop is open or a bus is running at the present moment. Use the operator’s latest alerts and arrival tools for the final decision.
