Default Stop name was Busses

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.


IMO, there should be - a group of stops together should share the same
name and have "platform numbers" and clearly-defined interchange -
just like trains.

Recently, I was pleased to note that Merseytravel has put large (i.e.
visible from a fair distance) "platform numbers" on the stops at Old
Roan. This is helpful if you don't know which "platform" to go to,
but equally it is clear where you need to change if the name of the
overall "station" is the same.
