Quite a few bus stop laybys have been infilled to increase the opportunities for social distancing for waiting passengers. This pRticular stop is problematic, at the best of times, often with 3 buses arriving at once. Arguably, it needs to be 2 bus stops but that would take a bit of planning and cost a fair bit. This, hopefully temporary solution isn't universally popular, though, as roads are back to almost normal levels of busyness.
