Every bus stop has a name written on it.


Even request stops?

Even request stops.

Ok...
Can you give me an example; are they useful names to anyone who might
not know the area? I'm thinking of bus routes outside central London.

If you go to http://www.tfl.gov.uk/buses/spiders/borough.shtml and look at
one of the spider maps, you will see all the stops in a particular area.
Where a bus route has a number of stops along the same main road, a stop on
the map such as "Leytonstone High Road / Michael Road" would appear on the
bus stop as just "Michael Road".

Are they useful to anyone who might not know the area? Yes, because they
identify the stop, and enable clear directions to be given to visitors.
Also, they are referred to on the TfL Journey Planner's route details and
maps, and the spider maps are posted at main bus stops.
