WHEN does a bus stop stop being a stop and start becoming a bus stand?
It's a mystery residents of Topsham Road, Exeter, are having to grapple with thanks to some yellow paint.
In recent weeks, one bus stop, near County Hall, has had the fading lettering of STOP painted over with bright new shiny yellow paint. It now says STAND, and the word bus remains as faded as it was before.
Bemused resident Tony Turner, when asked if the bus now stands there, said: "No, it just stops. We wondered what on earth they were doing when they painted it. I can't see any point to it at all.
"I can just about see the point for the new BUS STAND painted on the opposite side of the road because the bus does stop there for five to 10 minutes sometimes if it is early.
