This town only for nice bus stops . . .

I do like to see a nicely built bus shelter that goes the extra mile. Maybe that makes me look sad but I always think it makes places look civilised/concerned for the wider community. Maybe a separate thread in order. Much used by audaxers of course. I'm not one but I have used one for making an espresso on a night ride.

looking on the bright side, at least the sign wasn't damaged.

It actually was (look closely at right side of sign). :laugh:
 
Keeping out the Riff-Raff

Granted it's not on the road, but it is on a local cycle-way/Canal towpath

I was eating my sandwiches in a rather nice, recently built, bus shelter in Upchurch in Kent last winter, when a lady came up and said "I hope you are enjoying our bus shelter". I said I was. I was unsure whether she was expressing civic pride or telling me to sling my hook "this is local bus stop for local people". I suspect a bit of both.

There's a nice one, not too far from me
It's in a 'conservation village', where practically every house of the 40 (or so?) up there is listed, or of architectural/historical importance to some extent!

I was along there today, as I'd been to view the progress of a new bridge, being constructed to take a cycleway/footpath/bridleway, over the Castleford - Leeds railway line (the new bridge replaces a demolished one, on another trackbed)

As I popped out, by the LaFarge plant gates, the sign at that end of the access road was blue!!
I didn't think it was that cold today!!
