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?


There are probably a few bus routes that do circular trips around housing
estates or hospital grounds before continuing on their way. Can't think
of any offhand in london though. Theres a few routes down in Redhill that
do it however.

Thanks - I hadn't thought of that possibility. I was thinking more of
two different services running, at one point on their routes, in
opposite directions but terminating at the same place.
