Tooting Bec Gardens is in Streatham and has the former 133 stand on the left. Not sure what your road your on about. I believe sw11simon is referring to upper tooting park, which is just off balham high road near tooting bec. I actually had a brief look when I went past there while running light from clapham only a few days ago and I saw two bus stands but both on the same side (heading towards trinity road). I know there was a bus stand in myton road, west norwood for the 322. Not sure if its still there. I wonder if that stand in east dulwich is still there also. I think theres also a bus stand in addiscombe somewhere for the 289 when it turns to ashburton park. But I can't remember exactly where it is You also got a bus stand in silverthorne road near QB garage, and a stand in carshalton wrythe green. I only used it a few times when I had a turn there on the 157 I was referring to Upper Tooting Park - silly mistake duh! It may well have changed - I have not been down there for a few years. Years ago the north carriageway was where the 249 stood when it ran with darts and terminated at Tooting Bec. I think the most likely route to turn around using it now would be the 319 if there is still a stand on the southern carriageway.

The Crown at Bromley Common although I think it has got alot smaller or gone completely since the 208 stopped using it as a terminus. (I haven't been along there since the building has finished of all those new houses/ flats so I stand corrected). The stand is still there although, as you say, it got smaller when they constructed the entrance to the new estate. It was used frequently by the 261s under Metrobus (we tend to use the garage) and it's also used for 208 changeovers after 1900 Monday to Friday and all day at weekends

The old Rosendale stand is still there on Myton Road as far as I know, I also think the East Dulwich Goose Green stand is still there on Spurling Road as well. I had a look on google maps and the Ashburton Park stand is still there on Stroud Green Way.

Pepys Estate, Grove Street/Dunnage Crescent: There used a flagpole for this stand but it was removed and this stand is for the 199 only when it is curtailed to Pepys Estate. When 199's are being curtailed to Pepys Estate, they terminate at Grove Street/Plough Way bus stop then turn around into some residential roundabout and then stand there for the driver to wait until it runs back to Bellingham.

Bective Road, Forest Gate, E7. The road the 330 performs the loop back to Wanstead Park Station. On Bective Road their is a flagpole and road markings. The stand is very underused. If a 58 or 308 is turned from East Ham or Clapton Park, they ever stand on the 330 stand if one 330 is present or stand under the bridge carrying the GOBLIN on Woodgrange Road.
Roundwood Park, NW10 - their is a flagpole to stand but in all my years I've only seen an MM on the 206 stand there.
At the junction of Plashet Road and Sturkley Road,E13. Their is a stand entitled 'Upton Park/Sturkley Road', I've never seen a bus stand there.

The Raynes Park Junction Travern bus stand can hold about six buses yet is not used for any routes as terminuses. The last route I remember using it was the 157 about twenty years ago, before it was cut back to Morden.

Victoria Road / Stapleton Hall Road, Stroud Green (north of Finsbury Park off the W3 route). Hasn't been used in years. By you mentioning the W3, I also remembered the stand on Elmsfield Avenue with both a flagpole and stand and also on Alexandra Palace Way, close there where it meets the summit of Muswell Hill there is a stand by the self storage unit. The stand on Alexandra Palace way has a flagpole and a buses only road marking.

One bus stand that is hardly used is Tooting Mitre, where the 88 used to terminate when that was initially cut back from Mitcham. In fact, I'm not even sure if the stand is still there.

Welling has a few: Vaughan Road (used for Welling Station turns) Springfield Road and Nags Head Lane (both used for Welling Corner turns and previously by route 486 prior to Bexleyheath extension) Churchfield Road (used by route 624 but only on the 6:58 AM school journey, so a bit useless) All nicely tucked away behind the main streets.

Morval Road has long had a bus stand that's not used as a terminus. However, the 3 & 133 are turned there very rarely (the 133 actually runs off route and in service to reach this stand). The 2 & 432 used to have blinds for the stand but much different ones to the 3 & 133
The 3 & 133 have Brixton, Morval Road whilst the 2 & 432 had the following blinds over the years:
Brixton, George Canning - then when the pub changed its name, the blinds changed to Brixton, Hobgoblin
