Trivia: Closest distance between two bus stops

[Statto]

In my area, Hoylake Road, Reeds Lane to Hoylake Road, Stuart Avenue, 170 meters.

First Aberdeen's Service 13 towards Seaton serves three different bus stops at the junction of Links Road and Constitution Street. All three stops are within 45-65 metres of each other. The stop in the layby gets served twice.

This is less common in TfL land, as they seem to be a bit more proactive about not having too many stops (e.g. at a t-junction with three routes, each route only serves one side of the T).

This is less common in TfL land, as they seem to be a bit more proactive about not having too many stops (e.g. at a t-junction with three routes, each route only serves one side of the T).

In Worthing on Grand Avenue, Stagecoach 700 and Compass 8 services, the southbound stops at Boundary Rd and Bath Rd are less than 100m apart. This is senseless as Grand Ave is a very wide straight road and there is no reason why the Bath Road stop couldn't be another 100m or so nearer the seafront, right outside two large residential blocks, which would be much more convenient for residents.

150 feet, as I just discovered today!

The 342 service between Kingston Park and Wallsend stops at the very western end of Fern Drive in Annitsford and then literally around the corner on Burradon Road

Chorley interchange. Bus stops directly next to the bus station southbound and northbound across the road outside the train station.

In south London, Google Maps shows the 312 route westbound as serving Purley High Street/Purley Station (Stop P) and then Purley Tesco (Stop T). It's about 100m as the crow flies, or from the side of Tesco to the front of Tesco.

Victoria Road North and Shirley Street on Loughborough Road southbound in Belgrave, Leicester, are 100m/110yds apart, although I must confess they look even closer together! For some reason, I thought that, given their proximity, some services only stopped at one stop or the other, but that doesn't seem to actually be the case.

In the city centre, the Hop! free circular shuttle bus serves stand BH on Belgrave Gate outside Haymarket Bus Station (the effectively the route's terminus) and then stand BC on (the notoriously underused) Savoy Street. The two stops are just 73m/80yds apart from each other.

Due to roadworks on Loughborough Road in Mountsorrel, the stop opposite the Top Gear garage has been closed and replaced with a temporary stop outside the Baptist church, just over a hundred from the next stop outside the library by bus - or less than 70 metres by foot!

In the reverse direction, the temporary stop is just over fifty metres behind the Butter Market stop!
