You do wonder if night buses are to be considered why there isn't more of them outside London

London is unique in many ways not least of all the fact it still has a regulated bus service overseen by TfL that franchises its routes which are heavily subsidised by the public purse. Also, it might surprise you to learn that, per capita, London receives four times as much subsidy for public transport as towns in the north of England.

Should the metro mayors outside of London ever decide to introduce franchising, they could stipulate that the successful franchisee runs key routes 24/7.
