Went down to the shelter this morning to assess its practical use. Unfortunately any buses from Maxton or Folkestone to town would not be visible from in there until they were going past.
Assuming someone is fleet of foot they can see the Dover/Folkestone bus coming and brave the traffic running across to stop it.
Elms Vale road can be viewed clearly but everyone one waits at the shelter at the junction of Folkestone Rd and Belgrave Rd in order to get a choice of 2 sometimes 3 buses into town.
