October Half Term Challenge

On the 213 and 151 routes in North Cheam there is a bus stop
immediately either side of the A24 on the A2043 Malden Road and Cheam
Common Road.

The two westbound stops are less than 100m apart (haven't measured it
exactly but will do if necessary). Is this the record?

So, what is the shortest distance between two bus stops?

I know this is utl, but there are two bus stops just under 100m apart on
the road where I live in Nottingham, so this isn't especially unusual.

There are also two stops on the southbound 158. One immediately north
of Forest Road and opposite the "Tryst" pub and Standard Music Venue,
and one south of Forest Road opposite Blackhorse Road station. I
would be surprised if these are more than 100 metres apart.

Google Maps/Streetview suggests ~135m between Stop A in the NorthWest
and Stop G in the SouthEast. Have I got the wrong stops please, or
wrong end of stick, or even fewer neurons, ....?

Leonard St stop and Epworth St stop on Moorgate can't be much more
than 100m apart.

St Pancras International and Kings Cross (eastbound)??

The two stops on the 41 at Turnpike Lane; just before it turns into
Turnpike Lane, and turnpike Lane itself; can't be over 60m apart.

Does it have to be distance by road? There's been discussion before
of adjacent stops on opposite sides of dual carriageways. Even if the
stop is simply round a corner, the crowflies distance must be less.

I measured it - from the end of the westerly stop to the front of the
easterly stop is 110m (ok - it felt like under 100m). The easterly
stop has no markings - it is nearly up to the traffic lights in the
first of three lanes at the mouth of the junction. The stop beyond
the junction was a bit further than I thought - maybe on the day I was
on it, it pulled up a bit early!

I know this is utl, but there are two bus stops just under 100m apart
on the road where I live in Nottingham,

And in the village where I live.

so this isn't especially unusual.

Buses from Hoe Street Walthamstow that terminate at the Bus Station drop
off by the tube / rail station and then turn into the bus station and
stop to set down at the very first stop. *If that's more than 100 metres
I'd be surprised although I recognise the circumstances are a tad
unusual.

At Elephant & Castle, bus stops V and Z are very close - literally
around the corner from each other - and drawing lines on Google Earth
suggests the edges of the yellow bus stop boxes are less than 80
metres from each other, though these are long bus stops (served by
many frequent routes) so buses will normally travel a bit further than
that. It does however makes perfect sense from an interchange
maximisation point of view - both stops are served by routes 12 and
148.
