Default Same Destination, Opposite Direction

I was on a number 17 bus the other day, destination Archway. As we
passed by St. Paul's Cathedral a number 4 bus, also destination

Archway,
was heading in the opposite direction. I wonder how many other places


are there where one can catch a bus to the same destination from

either
side of the road?


Disregarding the reverse case (a teacup with opposite destinations at
the same stop), how about Esher, Surrey which has three routes to
Kingston leaving from three different stops - 218/471 and K3 on opposte
sides of Portsmouth Road and the 515 turning off first toward Esher
Green.

Or Green Lane Shepperton, Surrey where route 555 and 218 to
Walton-on-Thames traverse in opposite directions.

A valid example from Harrow are the 395 Greenford to St Georges Centre
and the 140 Heathrow to Harrow Weald. They pass Northolt Station
travelling in opposite directions but both go on the Harrow Bus Station
