IT NEVER RAINS, IT POURS!

This morning's unpleasantly heavy drizzle highlighted a couple of issues with the bus shelter on Bridge Street, Brigg, opposite Peacock and Binnington's premises.
Firstly, the 'open' design means that although waiting passengers have a roof over their heads, there are no sides, or front, to the structure, which makes the public transport supporters very open to the elements.
Secondly, only one small pane of glass remains at the back of the shelter. Vandals have repeatedly smashed the glass, so no-one can really blame North Lincolnshire Council for not replacing the missing panes.
However, the design of these bus shelters - seemingly standard issue by the council - does not offer anything like as much protection as the 'all enclosed' type favoured by Network Rail at Barnetby railway station (see picture).
Now that's what I call a proper bus shelter - even if it is for train-users!
