Cantilever Bus Shelter Kent

Project Overview

Speedy Street Solutions Ltd was appointed to manufacture and install a 2 bay cantilever bus shelter with a full-length perch seat for a Taylor Wimpey residential development in Kent.

The project required a durable, modern bus shelter solution that would provide comfortable waiting facilities for residents and visitors while complementing the overall design of the housing development.

The completed installation provides a functional and weather-protected public transport waiting area, helping to improve accessibility and encourage the use of local bus services within the development.

Project Requirements

Taylor Wimpey required a bus shelter solution that would:

• Provide a covered waiting area for public transport users

• Offer comfortable seating for residents

• Be suitable for installation within a modern residential development

• Deliver long-term durability with minimal maintenance

• Be professionally installed with secure ground fixing

To meet these requirements, Speedy Street Solutions manufactured and installed a 2 bay cantilever bus shelter with an elliptical roof design and full-length perch seating.

Bus Shelter Specification

Speedy Street Solutions supplied a 2 bay cantilever bus shelter designed for durability, weather protection, and visual appeal within residential environments.

2 Bay Cantilever Bus Shelter – Elliptical Roof

• 2.1m depth x 1.3m width

• Elliptical roof profile

• Two-bay cantilever structure

• Full-length perch seat

• Designed for permanent ground fixing

• Weather-resistant construction suitable for UK outdoor environments

The cantilever design creates an open and accessible waiting area while still providing effective shelter from rain and wind.

The elliptical roof profile gives the shelter a modern appearance that integrates well into contemporary housing developments while improving rainwater runoff.

Full-Length Perch Seating

The bus shelter was fitted with a full-length perch seat, providing practical seating for waiting passengers without occupying excessive internal space.

Perch seating offers several advantages for bus shelters in residential areas:

• Allows multiple users to rest comfortably while waiting

• Maintains good internal circulation space within the shelter

• Provides a durable and low-maintenance seating solution

• Encourages correct use of the shelter without overcrowding

The perch seat design ensures passengers can comfortably lean or sit while maintaining clear access for other users.

All components of the bus shelter were manufactured to commercial-grade standards before being delivered and installed on-site by the Speedy Street Solutions team.
