Thanks johnfilmer. Not so many guesses lately?

Just had a flash back to the open deck rear entrances on the East Kent double deckers and running flat out to grab the corner pole and jump in  8)

So next one for you............

Well done! I was beginning to think that no one was out there…

Seems that this was a standard design bus shelter, I spent many hours standing in one at Newington over my time as a chorister, waiting to catch the bus for a mile home. I was later allowed to use a push bike, but at night on the A2, a slightly scary experience in hindsight.

Over to you.

If you get up close on Google Maps it even has a little blue bus stop logo.

There is a dead pub, now house, up the road to the left, although being between villages it has been listed on the Dover website as being in the larger village. The little hamlet served by this bus shelter also goes by yet another name and seems to be part of the larger village which is to the north.

When I said north of M2, it is only just…

I see where you could get that idea Martin, there are two similar structures in Newington. This, however, is rural and on a junction. The give way lines for the road from the left are just to the right of the photo, and a warning chevron pointing to the right for traffic from behind the camera, which has priority over that running straight ahead. This then leads into another junction which is blind. I nearly collected some cyclists there a while ago as they had underestimated the severity of the blind bend leading out of the junction and were coming at me on my side of the road. Brakes are good on the Yeti :)

Elf and Safety hadn’t been invented otherwise putting this on one side of a double blind junction would raise concerns with modern traffic volumes and speed.
