A bus stop has been branded as 'the most pointless in the UK' after it showed no buses stopped there on any day of the week.
The bus stop sign shows a blank timetable in force from September 24, 2023.
The timetable shows zero buses stop there on any day of the week, nor on Sundays or Bank Holidays.
It is on display in the Prestwich area of Greater Manchester near Bury.

The bus stop is officially listed as the Rectory Lane/St Mary's Road stop on the 66 route which runs from Eccles to Prestwich.
It was spotted by @baggie_ade, who uploaded a photo of the sign to X, formerly Twitter.
In their post, they said: "Walking back from Aldi the other day I noticed Prestwich has possibly the most pointless bus stop in the UK.
"Not a single bus goes from this stop on any day."

Other users were quick to jump in and comment on the post, highlighting how similar signs were in place across the country.
One wrote: "Quite a few of those in Brum.
"They're only taken out when it's pretty certain no other bus will ever go in, as the application process to get bus stops in is such a pain its easier to leave them."
The original poster added: "You can at least get off the 66 there. Just not on it!"
Earlier this year, Greater Manchester launched its Bee Network, which aims to cap fares across an integrated public transport system that combines buses and Metrolink trams.
The scheme is led by mayor Andy Burnham, who has previously described deregulation of buses outside London in 1986 as a “disaster” for the city.
He said: "We hope that the arrival of the Bee Network will signal a start of revolution in public transport, and we stand ready to help."
