I’m pleased to hear that a solution may have been found for the lack of lighting at the park and choose bus shelter at the Newtonhill flyover.

Council officers and the developers at Chapelton (who own the park and choose) aim to mount two curved solar panels on the roof of the shelter which will collect enough energy to provide adequate power to light the full length of the bus shelter.

This will provide customers with added security while waiting for a bus, also makes them more visible to approaching buses.

Meanwhile real time passenger information is to be available on a 13.3” display on a pole adjacent to the shelter. It too will have a light.
