Longest and Shortest

May 2015, Michael R N Dolbear remarked: But the between stops distances on the X26 (and other limited stop services) are likely to win. Kingston to New Malden ? X26 Length 23.75 miles (38.22 km) so the average stage is 1.8 miles I think that should only be counted if there are no other bus stops on the route. The OP was asking for the distance between bus stops (the street furniture) not the longest distance between buses stopping (the timetable). Otherwise we get involved in things like the Oxford Tube running non-stop from Hillingdon to Shepherds Bush. -- Roland Perry |

The OP was asking for the distance between bus stops (the street furniture) not the longest distance between buses stopping (the timetable). I don't think he was - there are oodles of of examples of bus stops next to each other (i.e. distances under 10 metres) serving different routes. FWIW, I'd interpret his question as what is the most distant of two bus stops served on the same (non-limited stop route) route in the same direction. One would also have to disregard any lengths between distant bus stops that included hail-and-ride sections. Otherwise we get involved in things like the Oxford Tube running non-stop from Hillingdon to Shepherds Bush. |

Agreed, it seemed pretty obvious that "on the same bus route" was one of the criteria. Where I lived for a while in Nottingham the bus stops in the suburbs were as little as 100m apart. eg southbound he https://goo.gl/maps/JII2E -- Roland Perry |

Though now I play with Google maps the outer two each turn out to be about 160m from the middle one. -- Clive D.W.

I think you're going to have to be more specific before a decent answer can be given. The longest known distance between bus stops in London. As an analogy, the distance between Chalfont & Latimer and Chesham as well as between Canary Wharf and West India Quay. You probably need to look at somewhere in the Green Belt. I've picked (not as a candidate, but as an example) Leatherhead Rd, Chessington, where it's almost a mile, and 3 minutes by bus, from the stop at Malden Russet Shy Horse to the next one south. https://goo.gl/maps/UpXZG -- Roland Perry |
