See 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposal:Use_description_instead_of_name_for_route_relations#Examples

name=Tram 64 (nocny): Bronowice Małe => Os. Piastów
from https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/3171712 is an example

this tram line has no name

"Tram" is additionally wrong as not matching local language and "nocny" part)

useful label could be made from ref=* from=* to=* tags and there is no need
at all for this fake name.

Note that info that it is a night tram is not provided in any structured form, 
only as part of the fake name. This fake name should be removed and info
that it is a night tram put into some tag or into description=*
