The long-running St Stephens saga took another misguided turn as passengers mocked the decision of a poorly placed board.

The £6.1m revamp of the busy city centre street has been subject to disruption, delays and controversy since work began on January 6, 2022.

Now, thanks to a seemingly misplaced board, bus drivers and passengers are missing stops adding to the chaos.

It comes after a number of issues plagued the development of the bus stops, with the most recent folly being all timetables being installed upside down.

The 42-year-old said: "They've made a silly mistake because it's got a full sized electronic advertising board on the right side, facing the direction of where the buses come down, from the roundabout.

"This means you either have to step out from the bus shelter to be seen by the bus coming, or the driver can't see people waiting meaning they'll just drive straight past.

"I think it's definitely the wrong way.

"It's so stupid because the bus arrives directly from the roundabout it over-runs the stop every single time.

"With passengers either walking past the bench to get on the bus, or stand outside of the stop to be seen - it makes the bus shelter pointless."

A Norfolk County Council spokesman said: "We would like to reassure passengers this bus bay is a 'scheduled stop' meaning that all buses will pull in, regardless of whether passengers are visible to the driver.

"In addition, passenger information is displayed in real time within the shelter so there is no need to keep look out."

Steve Morphew, Labour group leader at the county council, added the fiasco was a "head in hands moment.

"You need to be able to see the buses coming and the drivers need to be able to see the passengers.

"Things being the wrong way round has been the one consistent thing about this scheme."
