Passengers can no longer take advantage of the pre-existing hail-and-ride arrangement on Castle Road, Prudhoe; due to new bus stops now in place for the Tynedale Links 686 bus. But this seems to have caused problems for residents living in the area -

I can't quite believe it costs £700 for a new bus stop!

Just think how many times a year bus stops need to be repaired too! I'm thinking on a Tyne & Wear basis too, and not the full North East.
Countless times now I've passed bus shelters and they've had their glass smashed through - perhaps won't cost quite as much as £700 what with the structure already being there and the work being done, but the glass must be quite costly each time!
Can't believe there are only two new stops on the route though... It should continue to run Hail & Ride if they're not to implement a third one too. Elderly folk rely on this service being H&R now and they've gotten used to it. Suggesting they walk an additional 5-10 minutes is a ludicrous thought.
