Council spends £5k on bus stop to nowhere

A British council has spent more than £5,000 (€6,000) on a bus shelter only to find out that it isn't on a bus route.

Durham County Council - which is closing services and cutting jobs to meet a 40% spending cut between 2010 and 2017 - replaced an old brick bus stop with a glass one which now needs moving, and the organisation has appeared to point the blame at bus company Arriva for the "misunderstanding".
