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.

Thanks for the information but are you sure about the request stops?
I was looking at the routes of the 251 and 250 (from the Waltham Cross maps)
and there are some stops between Waltham Cross and Upshire/Debden missing.
The main stops are shown but not request stops.
