Bus turning circle, Wobaston

This turning circle, on Patshull Avenue, was constructed to allow buses serving this estate to turn; the buses approached from the south, so the turning circle was shaped accordingly. However, the only bus route that terminates here now, the 6 from Wolverhampton city centre via Whitmore Reans and Pendeford (one of which is visible in this picture), arrives from the north, and so the middle part of the turning circle (right) has been reshaped somewhat to enable the buses to enter it. The park on the left is bounded at its far end by the Staffordshire & Worcestershire Canal.
