Thank you Adam for the email. However,
Why such a very strange, eccentric looking, black (and wooden?) bus shelter that looks nothing like one?!
Are you sure there is a timetable somewhere on the structure? I don't remember seeing one. The lady standing there in my photo did say it was a bus shelter, so I had to believe her.
Would your civic pride, Adam not want it brought up to date with a modern, conventional shelter that we have in Stourbridge and Halesowen? This shelter of yours is not even attractive or, interesting as an historical artefact!
The two 20th century, more modern shelters round the corner on the way out of the town centre were also very poor with missing information and not like the TfWM ones in the W Midlands, next door.
Standards need to be urgently raised. That disgraceful slum of a Kiddi Bus Station needs to be razed to the ground for something more respectable. Are you not aware of the climate emergency, with the Secretary General of the United Nations saying at COP 27, two weeks ago, "We are on a highway to climate hell with our foot on the accelerator"? One simple answer is to make bus use much more obvious, attractive and, indeed irresistible to those many wedded and welded to their cars. You know what to do, Adam.
Best wishes for much higher standards of provision in future days - PLEASE!
