It obviously hasn't came to fruition.

Granted, a week or two couldn't justify a shelter, but in this example, the two on Birtley Front Street, the time of year and the duration of the works, could justify a more hard standing solution.

afaik the stop going Northbound is due to move back to its original imminently as demolition work and footpath closure is about to commence on the old standing Sommerfield store

Southbound stop is moving because its current location is about to become a signalised junction
