[Talk-GB] Tactile markings at UK bus stops?

[SK53]

Just happened to be thinking about this (not many newish things to map in
the small area I visit now).

Here are a few of my local bus stops on Mapillary:

* Hillside: https://www.mapillary.com/map/im/bYlvWKm90KIPIC6bXK_Cig. There
is tactile paving just in from the kerb where it is raised to ease
boarding. You can see the same arrangement from a car at the next stop
<https://www.mapillary.com/map/im/HJoaBAO6GMKZdPHnQbuRR0> along.
* Stop on the Ring Road with a bay: pretty much as above, a strip along
where the kerb is raised:

* Tram stop by NTU: different size bobbles on the paving & it's not
directly next to kerb edge:
https://www.mapillary.com/map/im/5_nQuNBJzgp-4A-diwbtHw. I think there are
also markings for crossing points.
* Cinderhill Road, Bulwell (from top deck of bus), pretty much as the
others: https://www.mapillary.com/map/im/tdW1mVn9l5CxyY3QU1zmjQ

In Maidenhead where there are next to no lowered kerbs or tactile paving in
suburban areas, there is no tactile paving (or raised kerbs) for bus stops
either.

This TfL stop in Canonbury does not appear to have any either:
