The stand on Elmfield Road, has that not been used since circa 2000 when the 91 started turning around using the roundabout?

There's a stop on Lawrence Road, West Green which I've never seen it used. What turn would that be for the 41? West Green on the blinds |

There is one stand in Shrewsbury Lane that is normally unused - there is also another stand not too far away in Eaglesfield Road.
Welling has a stand at Tidford Road, never seen that in use.
Charlton Football Club stand and Anchor and Hope Lane stands are also not used as much but probably used more than the stands mentioned above.

Pretty sure the 91 has been standing on Tottenham Lane since at least the mid 1990s, with Elmfield Avenue being an overflow stand. I think it was in the days of its predecessor 14A that Elmfield Avenue was the main stand.
The stand can still be used by short-turning 41s and W3s, although I can't remember the last time I saw it in use; whenever I've seen a bus curtailed at Crouch End it goes straight back without taking stand time.

Sorry if I'm late but one bus stand is called ''The Coppins'' and it's in New Addington, The stand hasn't been used ever since September 1980.
IIRC it was occupied by a Local Service running throughout Addington/Croydon, it's pretty interesting seeing a bus stand being abandoned for almost 45 years (pretty insane) and even noteworthy is that they moved the stop in 2012.

It was used by the local route C5 which only operated between the peaks if at all because of the vehicle shortages at the time. |

I did not even realize there was a vehicle shortage during Croydon's 'local service' era. |

I did not even realize there was a vehicle shortage during Croydon's 'local service' era. The C5 just went from The Coppins to Homestead Way when it actually ran, the farebox DMS's used on the C routes were particularly high maintenance because of the nature of the routes. I think The Coppins stand saw the occasional curtailment on the 130B but as far as I'm aware it hasn't been used since 1980 as you say. |

Yeah, it probably has been used for curtailment on 130B (and maybe C4?) as I believe that as well. It's most likely that the stop hasn't been used since at least the 80's or to some extent. |
