In both directions, it's only a incredibly short distance between the Mount Ephraim Road stops & Kingscourt Road stops on Streatham High Road - according to Google Maps, it's approx 166 yards between the two stops. I used to find that quite annoying having to serve both stops whenever running late on the 118 and 133. Indeed, there is an argument that one stop on each side could be removed - Kingscourt Road northbound is pretty quiet compared to Mount Ephraim Road northbound and the distance between Mount Ephraim Road northbound & Streatham Hill Station northbound is a fairly big one whilst soutbound, I'd probably remove the Mount Ephraim Road southbound and keep the Kingscourt Road southbound one which gets slightly more custom due to the proximity of Nandos.

The W5 (Archway-Harringay Superstores) is the only route that uses e original Optare Solos I believe.

One candidate for me would be “Harbour exchange square” and “Eastferry Road” for the 135, D6 and D8 while heading to crossharbour. The distance between Canada square north / south and Canary Wharf is also tiny
Okay this is a bit of a cheat, but the winner must be the H19 on the Kenton Road. The Gayton Road and Northwick Avenue stops are about 5 yards apart. It serves Gayton Rd stop proceeds down Kenton Road and turns right , serves Northwick Park Station, returns to Kenton Rd via Northwick Avenue back to Kenton Road before Gayton Rd stop but second time round it serves Northwick Avenue stop 5 yards beyond Gayton Rd stop, only the H19 serves the Gayton Rd stop, the 114, H9, 223 and 183 serve the Northwick Avenue stop as they don't go to the station, and H19 serves the stop after serving the Station.

Devonshire Way & Monks Orchard Road on the 198 towards Croydon may also be a contender. Roughly 90 yards

The distance between Canada square north / south and Canary Wharf is also tiny The 65 to Kingston has Ham Parade and Dukes Avenue only about 70m apart (either side of Tudor Drive turning). The stop on Ham Parade was moved from other end of Ham Parade (as part of busplus about 18 years ago), when they put the big kerbs in because at time many buses were not low floor or couldn’t kneel. There is now a stupidly large gap either side of this pair (from stops at Ham Gate Avenue & Tiffin Girls School)

The distance between Canada square north / south and Canary Wharf is also tiny Rowley Gardens and Manor House Station on the 29 towards Trafalgar Square is about a 60 second walk. They’re both relatively used so I wouldn’t remove them although it isn’t as busy as the 141/341 stop at Manor House.

When a 37 gets curtailed to Wandsworth, it is meant to terminate (kick off passengers) at a stop that it doesn't normally serve. Is this unique (when curtailing, officially using a stop that is not normally served)?

Is this unique (when curtailing, officially using a stop that is not normally served)? 332 at Kilburn Park. The last stop is Kilburn High Road but the stop after is Kilburn Park Station and the stand. The 332 doesnt actually stop at Kilburn Park Station as it heads straight down Edgware Road like the 16 and 98. I have never seen the 16 or 98 terminate at Kilburn Park so I think this only goes for the 332 as it also is linked with the 632 which terminates at Kilburn Park.
