Netherlands and much of Germany,
I'm dubious about this. Is there enough distance between stops to get up
to full speed?

There are in a few places. Not many though. The ones I can think of
are all on the roads that meet at Hyde Park Corner.

Mind you, there are some places where stops are *ridiculously* close
together. Fetter Lane and Chancery Lane Station are maybe 150 yards
apart at the most, and there's no reason at all for a bus to stop at
both.
