We've had a thread dealing with routes terminating at a bus station at both ends, but what other matching terminals exist?
282- Ealing Hospital to Mount Vernon Hospital. Is this unique? Two hospital termini.
321- Footscray Tesco to New Cross Sainsbury's. Double supermarket terminals. Is this unique too?. Very convenient for the driver methinks.
Any other matching ones?

Endless examples of routes starting and ending at stations of some sort - e.g 97 Chingford Stn - Stratford City (bus stn), 86 Stratford (Stn) - Romford Station. It depends on how pedantic you wish to be about references to stations on blind descriptors or if you just rely on where the buses start and finish from in reality. There is another route that runs from a Tesco to another Tesco - the H28 Bulls Bridge Tesco to Osterley Tesco. |

H2 - Starts and finishes in the same place. Then again, this can be said for all circular routes.  |

The Sunday 1A had a period of a few years running from Trafalgar Square to Trafalgar Road in Greenwich, although Greenwich Church was always the destination shown, unfortunately for the purposes of this thread!

118 - Brixton Station to Morden Station
432 - Anerley Station to Brixton Station
P4 - Brixton Station to Lewisham Station
133 - Liverpool Street Station to Streatham Station
333 - Elephant & Castle Station to Tooting Broadway Station
159 - Marble Arch Station to Streatham Station
All very mundane I'm afraid
If the P13's terminus at Streatham wasn't referred to as Station, then you have New Cross, Sainsbury's to Streatham, Tesco

E1 Greenford - Ealing Haven Green (does using Green as part of a word count ?)
E2 Greenford - Brentford. (using old English where ford is a river crossing place)
Perhaps that’s stretching the concept too far

Here is a coincidental " circumstance " at both ends of the 252- Hornchurch to Collier Row.
At Collier Row it terminates and stands at a roundabout, other routes use the roundabout but none other terminate there. At Hornchurch ditto, plenty use the "roundabout" at Town Centre but only the 252 stands and terminates there. ( 372 stands elsewhere)
ps - yes the roundabout at Hornchurch is triangular, sort of, not round, but traffic flow is as a roundabout.

153 - Finsbury Square and Finsbury Park. Shame Finsbury Square is only a qualifier though.

The old 163 route ran from Plumstead COMMON to Parliament Hill FIELDS at one time, the different terms perhaps reflecting the rather differing social status of the two, both then and now!
