Bournemouth: former bus stop in Wellington Road

The yellow pole used to host a Bus Stop sign, for this is the former route of the 17, a service which went from Alum Chine to Throop, taking a tortuous route through the suburbs. It became the 18 in the evenings and on Sundays, which took a slightly different route further north from here. When the Yellow Buses underwent a renumbering in July 2007, the 17 became the 24 and at the same time some of the kinks were taken out of its route, meaning that this bus stop became redundant. The bench remains, though.
