Trivia: routes that serve the same stop twice in the same journey

[Newport Lad]

Newport Bus route 1 serves the stop Ruskin Avenue twice on the outbound jouney due to a no right turn.

Newport bus 45 serves Spytty Lane and Spytty Park footbridge the twice on the outbound jouney.

In the case of Spytty Park Footbridge it serves it three times as it serves the both sides of the road.

Route 75 serves Caldicot Cross multiple times on both sides of the road on the same jouney

Route 2 serves Gaer Shops twice as it does its loop of Gaer Estate

I can think of some routes that even serve the same stop three times in one journey.

There used to be a stop in Brighton in Downs Park on the 6 that was served twice in one direction due to the loop making it pass twice but this has finished now that they got rid of the loop.

The vintage shuttle bus inside the Black Country Museum does! It sets off from next to the tram depot, does a short loop around the bottom end of the site, then stops again at the tram depot before heading up toward the main entrance.

TrawsCymru T51 Wrexham - Rhyl serves "Ruthin Co-op (o/s)" bus stop on Station Road twice as it loops round Station Road > Market Street > Wynnstay Road > Well Street > Station Road. This route is operated by ARRIVA Buses Wales (ARRIVA Cymru).

Curiously this stop is not included in the ARRIVA UK Bus BODS (Bus Open Data Service) for the T51, so it would not be obvious that the stop is used at all. In fact it is a relatively popular stop (by Ruthin standards) as it is the closest stop on this route to the town's Tesco superstore without an uphill walk.

In London, route B14 does a 'lap of honour' off Bexley Lane, round a few roads in a circle, before rejoining Bexley Lane at an earlier point than where it turned off. However, it is Hail & Ride, so does not actually call twice at any bus stops.
