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...

Henry
