Hello ;)

Whilst leaving Stourbridge Junction on the train this morning I noticed next to the overflow car park there are loads of bus shelters and stops lieing around randomly (they look like the old blue ones, silver ones and green ones)

Wondered if it was a centro storage depot or something?

Yeah, they've been there for about 2 years. I always assumed they were bus stops that used to be used in the old Stourbridge Bus Station
Class 153, 155 and 156. The Super Sprinters
"Around the corner" routes: 21, 89
Local routes: 12/A, 48/A
Semi-local routes: 54, 80, 87

Most used routes in bold

I much prefer them to these new crappy ones in city cente
Surely they can put it to good use

A large number of these shelters were moved there from the City Centre as they were either in roads now now longer served by buses or have been replaced by the pathetic new shelters. Whilst going past one day I could make out posters on some of them advising that the stop had been taken out of use from the 22nd July.

The old shelters in the old Stourbridge bus station were longer and mostly several shelters put together in a continuous line and to a different design to these single ones.
