The powdered remains of vandalised glass panel spoil the image of one of the modern shelters on the Fastlink route in Glasgow, being passed here by a Stagecoach Alexander Dennis Enviro300.

I totally agree with Phil Stockley (Inside Track last month) on the importance of bus shelters.

In Leicester and Leicestershire, most of the 300-plus decent shelters are managed under contract by the French firm J. C. Decaux, which generally does a very good job. However, its contract is due for renewal this year and if it loses the contract it will probably remove all its shelters to use elsewhere. What will happen then?
