I can't remember offhand whether the bus stand for Tooting, The Mitre is still there. Was meant to check when i first saw this thread. There's an image on Google Map dated 'Sept 2014' showing PVL378 on the 44 at a stand in Longley Rd. The 'Mitre' still stands but seems to be a take away of some description The stand does not appear to be used by any Tfl services, the ‘take-away’ referred to is a Grey/Silver Food Bus run by Be Enriched a community food table. The stand is used sometimes by this bus for parking but no food or access by the public is available to it there. There are seats and tables upstairs, cooking facilities and a small food bank cheap food shop downstairs. |

In Eltham there is a disused bus stand on Messeter Place. I guess it was probably used when Pound Place was still open to traffic (now you have the planters preventing vehicular access to Eltham high street)
There is also a bus stop on pound place visible on old google maps pics. Does anyone know which route went down that road? Seems quite narrow so not sure which buses fit down that road. I can see some dial a ride signs though

What’s the Welling Library stand there for out of interest? One AM Journey to Wellings for school route 624. When the bus arrives at Welling then it can't turn right from Hook Lane, so using Churchfield Road to turn right into Bellegrove road, However there is no bus stop for the bus to stop allow passengers to get off in Wellings. So the bus can run out of service and return to BX bus garage. |

The bus stand at Glenaffric Avenue right outside Christ Church, Isle of Dogs.
Last time I saw a bus using it was GAL WVL427 parking there waiting to work on the D7, but have never seen any bus using that stand ever since. The curtailed D7s tend to use the Island Gardens Station stand instead these days, probably to avoid doing 3-point turns at Glenaffric Avenue?
Meanwhile, I just notice today that the Isle of Dogs Police Station stands on Manchester Road (both directions) have been renamed as Christ Church, Isle of Dogs. The police station itself was already closed in November last year so it makes sense to rename - but thinking if it hints that the Glenaffric Avenue stand may be disused given it's right outside the church?

Concert Hall Approach in Waterloo soon - really unfortunate because it’s a nice open area and it’s fun that the 77 gets a tiny corner in busy Waterloo to itself. The 211/507 taxi terminal is it will be taking over is gloomy and terrible in comparison.

Has the Simpsons Road bus stand at Bromley South been used since the 126 stand was moved up Bromley High Street?
This was for building works to take place. St Mark's Square is now finished and the bus stands have been painted on Simpsons Road. It is a tight turning circle for buses under St Mark's Square beside the railway.

No it's never been used apparently unsuitable, as you say the turning circle does look tight. |

Old Kent Road, Tesco (not the 415 one).
There is a lay-by stand located by the north side of the Tesco close to the car park and petrol station. However it's marked as a bus stop and has a Tesco-style bus stop pole.
Don't recall seeing any bus stand or use there as a stop.
Maybe 1's use it when curtailed to Southwark Park Road? They normally terminate at Alscot Road when coming from Hampstead Heath and then run light along Dunton Road to the roundabout by the Tesco to loop round and head back up to LOR.

Plaistow Green stand adjacent to the southbound stop on Paxton Road is very rarely used, I assume given the close proximity of Bromley North for short turns on routes passing through there. I do wonder whether that stand could be used or even others added on Cambridge Road on the roundabout to supplement the constrained stand space at Bromley North Station

The bus stops on Springfield Road and Nag's Head Lane in Welling - have they ever been used by a passenger route? Also, loads of bus stops in Kidbrooke - presumably ex-B16? When were they last used? |
