Yep apparently within a hour or two the shelter and sign had been taken down and a taxi rank sign gone up in its place.

Bus drivers knew nothing about it, as was on bus out to WIT yesterday and bus driver had to ring station to tell them it was gone within a hour as he had passed that morning and it was there. He was asking is the stop gone and are they still supposed to stop there. Seems that from what they now they stop is still there.

Buses were stopping there this morning form what I could see when I was passing down that way.

I think maybe the shelter is being replaced, as they are doing this out by Lisduggan etc, so maybe taxi drivers decied to take advantage and set up shop there instead of just around the corner by Madigans where they are supposed to be expect from 23.30 - 06.00.

They are replacing the shelters, and have already begun working on a few. There was always a taxi rank here, but after bus operating hours. The bus sign was fixed onto the shelter IIRC.

They have a new one installed further down the road towards town and are working on one up at College St, for example.
