Not literally on the middle of the roundabout, it’s on the left hand side as you go around the roundabout . It’s outside the library.

If you look at the picture in the link you can see the bus stop. It’s we’re the blue van is ..

There is, well sort of. There is a bus stop in a layby on the roundabout where the library is. Its unusual.

Is that what caused the accident then?

Don’t know I’m just speculating lol

I just think it’s a daft place to put a bus stop..

It seems the majority of bus stops are in stupid places.

These days they seem to placed almost right at junctions or jutting out into the road forcing everyone behind to wait until it sets off again.

I cant comment on this incident but when a bus went too close to my parked car and took off the wing mirror and left a huge scrape down the side they tried every trick in the book to avoid paying. Thankfully the judge saw it was clearly the drivers fault and awarded in my favour.

Responsibility for bus stops are SYPTE The one on the roundabout must be new wasn't there last time I passed .
