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?


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


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.
