I agree with LA here. Sometimes a bus stop would be on both sides of the
road. Sometimes it would only be on one side while the one for the other
direction is around the corner. Not having this kind of data is (in my
personal data model view) not acceptable :-).
Al left/right is a bit ambigious, so far I tend to draw little service
roads and have a bus stop there.

As for data, I tend to favor bus_line=123;direction=southampton or
something similar. (or direction=north would also be a good way).
