There's a pole collapsing into the hedge near the shelter, which itself looks extremely dilapidated, and going back in time shows some very tired road markings.

But there is no signage to suggest you can't park in either.

Re: Lay-by’s with/without ‘P’ plates
Is there such a thing as a ex-bus stop? How would you identify or define such a thing?Kinitawowi wrote: ↑Tue Jul 12, 2022 12:30 There's a pole collapsing into the hedge near the shelter, which itself looks extremely dilapidated, and going back in time shows some very tired road markings.

I know plenty of places where buses stop which aren't indicated as stops by any signage or markings, and lots of places which *are* marked as a bus-stop which are no longer server by any buses. And even more places which are not marked as bus stops and don't seem to be used as such
And then you get hail and ride buses is some areas which seem to stop anywhere which means everywhere is a bus stop!
Let it snow.
Re: Lay-by’s with/without ‘P’ plates
It looks like a layby where buses stop, or used to stop, but not to the exclusion of other road users as there aren't any yellow markings (1025.1) evident
Re: Lay-by’s with/without ‘P’ plates
A number of bus routes in South Cambs are no longer used except for the odd school bus. The service from Gamlingay to Cambridge was cancelled about 6 years ago. The bus stop is still there but there is now no service and no timetable.Alderpoint wrote: ↑Tue Jul 12, 2022 19:41 Is there such a thing as a ex-bus stop?

Re: Lay-by’s with/without ‘P’ plates
I don’t think, in my lifetime (50 next year), there has been a scheduled public bus service to or even past this stop. I’m aware of the irony contained in the image!
Maybe there is a school bus or something? Or are the council just trying to discourage trucks or cars from parking there?

- no scheduled buses stop there any more
- infrastructure, such as signage, shelters or road markings, are absent or demonstrably unmaintained
- (tougher to determine) the highways authority don't challenge you for trying to park in it
- some form of declaration by a relevant authority that the stop is closed.

We noticed, we just had better things to discuss.
Re: Lay-bys with/without ‘P’ plates
I noticed in the first second but, prefer to wait to see if anyone else comments.
