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.

Those routes are in the white area of the map in which only main stops are
shown. All stops are shown in the yellow-shaded area, but that is rather
small on that particular map, because they only cover Greater London in that
level of detail. (Waltham Cross is in Hertfordshire.)
