One of Drogheda's busiest bus stops has finally got the shelter that people who use the route had been waiting for. Until now, anyone catching a bus there stood exposed to the weather, with rain and wind part of the daily routine. The new structure was installed following a long wait during which requests for cover kept coming from regular passengers. The stop sits on a well-used stretch of the town's bus network, which made the bare kerb all the more out of place. For older commuters and anyone carrying shopping, the change will show most on wet mornings. By any measure the move was overdue, given how many people pass through the stop each day. With the shelter in place, waiting for the next service there has become a far more ordinary experience.
