Woolwich to Chatham 96 - Woolwich (Town Centre) to Bluewater (Bus Station) 700 (Arriva) - Bluewater (Bus Station) to Chatham (Bus Station)
Woolwich to Sevenoaks 51 - Woolwich (Town Centre) to Orpington (High Street) 3 (Go Coach) - Orpington (High Street) to Sevenoaks (Town Centre)

I did the 313 Enfield Town to Chingford and 97 to Stratford and back again in the evening because of no trains at Stratford. It took between 45mins to 1hr 20mins. Was longer in the evening because of the low frequency of the 313

X26 - Croydon to Heathrow Airport 102 (Carousel Buses) - Heathrow to High Wycombe. 102 is currently truncated to Uxbridge but likely to return if/when Heathrow activity returns to passable levels. An achievable one today: Brent Cross to Aylesbury - 40 miles. 142 Brent Cross to Watford 500 Watford to Aylesbury

Croydon to Guildford 405 - Croydon (Town Centre) to Redhill (Bus Station) 32 (Compass Travel) - Redhill (Bus Station) to Guildford (Bus Station)
Romford to Chelmsford 370 - Romford (Town Centre) to Lakeside (Bus Station) 100 (First Essex) - Lakeside (Bus Station) to Chelmsford (Bus Station)

What about 2 buses but the shortest routes? However these must be end to end...
My one would be. 209 Castelnau to Mortlake, 378 Mortlake to Putney Bridge.
Any shorter routes?

That would probably be the shortest ones although the 507 Victoria to Waterloo and 521 Waterloo to London Bridge would be the closest rival - another although not as short is 129 Greenwich to North Greenwich and then 335 North Greenwich to Kidbrooke Estate

Yeah but that's not in terms of two routes together like the examples already mentioned

The furthest you possibly can travel must be N9 Trafalgar Square to Heathrow, 724 Heathrow to Harlow...
Hopefully this can count...

The two end termini are just 1.7 miles apart!

The two end termini are just 1.7 miles apart! Similar would be 309 from Canning Town to Bethnal Green, bonner road and then D3 back to leamouth. The end points are literally a few steps away Although to be fair the routes themselves are not that short. More on the lines of “what pair of routes can you use to get back to almost the same point as you started but not the same point”. So not something like 111/285 which have the same termini at both ends but more like the 309/D3 example above. Or 35/344. Sure there are a bunch more
