Kidderminster's slum bus station disgrace!

This time a definite 20th century, tired, uninviting, slum bus shelter

Dear Cllrs Mike and Simon (Rouse and Geraghty)

Could Mike Rouse and the relevant officer reply, please with an assurance that something will finally be done about the shocking state of bus provision in Kidderminster?

How can we get modal shift from car to bus with this kind of antiquated, uninviting provision?

Hundreds of millions of pounds in price and pounds in weight of greenhouse gas emissions for trams taking over railways and roads in Brum and the Black Country but nothing for the poor bus passenger who contributes the least in worsening the climate emergency!!

Is this a Victorian horse-drawn omnibus shelter or Victorian coffin rest?

Dear Cllr Mike - no reply from Alan Amos.  Perhaps, you could do so, please along with the appropriate officer.  And Cllr Simon could do with visiting this astonishingly decrepit looking bus station, too - it must be the worst in England!

SEE PHOTO, below

It concerns the grotty, the disgraceful and shoddy looking bus station that looks as though it is something out of Noah's Ark.  Two roof panels are missing to let in the rain.  The drivers have their break/rest by standing at one end, with the waiting passengers standing at the other end!

Read my email, below that got no comment or reply from a single person!

But, did they have bus shelters in the Victorian age, for this might be one?

Is this where Queen Victoria's coffin rested in 1901?  I didn't know she died in Kiddi.

This particular 19th century model is draughty and cold, without even its Victorian wicker or timber seating and is not inviting to stand in for hours in hope of a Diamond drawing up.  Do you agree?

Seriously, what is this odd structure, please?

If a bus shelter, can the woman in the photo be sure of a bus even stopping if she continues to wait and wait and wait?

This 'shelter' is the first from the bus station for at least the Diamond 192 that my wife and I were on today but it went rushing past, so perhaps it is not a 'live' bus stop, at all.

Should this particular coffin rest or horse-drawn omnibus shelter now be consigned to the Black Country Living Museum, perhaps?

Please reply
