Every bus stop has a name written on it.


But it is not always the same as the name on the bus maps or front of
buses. And sometimes there are multiple stops with the same name.


I think those stops are given a letter too.


For example I wanted to get off at the bus stop on 484 called "Pepys Eoad"
on a spider map. When I got there found it was called "Kitto Road".

The stop that has historically been called "Dulwich Plough" after the pub
that was long called the Plough is marked on bus stops as that. But as the
termination point of the 40 routes it is "Dulwich Library".


I thought it all sounded too good to be true....
