Default Solar-powered bus stops

I've not seen these mentioned here yet, so:

They're solar-powered. They glow in the dark. They have a cool blue
button that makes the backlight for the paper timetables glow a bit
brighter.

"Thousands of solar powered bus stops that light up automatically at
dusk are set to transform the gloomy experience of waiting for a bus
at night in the UK's capital."...
(http://optics.org/articles/news/11/9/19)

Everything I could possibly want from a bus stop, apart from a shelter
that actually keeps the wind and rain off. And an actual bus, of
course.

There are several on the 222 route, if anyone's particularly keen to
try one out...
