I never considered it before, but Uhura is the only bridge crew who never seems to have an off-shift. She’s always there, when Kirk comes back from working out, when Sulu gets relieved for a shift change.
Maybe there was no one on the bridge then. Maybe Uhura is always the last off the bridge, except for one shift every 3 years.
But, that’s not true, because she’s on the occasional away team in TOS. I just don’t recall many scenes where she’s not at her post. Now I’ll have to go back and find an episode where she’s with the away team, and see if they show anyone else at her console. I know she’s with the away team in “City on the Edge of Forever.” I don’t recall that they ever show the bridge after they beam down, though.

Interesting.
IIRC She’s the one who buys the first tribble at the station bar.
