Stagecoach in Coventry & Warwickshire

[Justin Tyme]

Two E400 electric double deckers are (or at least have been) in service from Leamington today, one on the X17, the other on the U2.

According to bustimes they are 80075 and 80080.

Saw them both but at the wrong place to catch either.  Made do with Trident 18398 on the X18 instead.

Given that it is taking over the 2 route that goes down Torrington Lane, hopefully not.

Also wow, it is actually going through Berkswell village and Carol Green. They've not had a regular bus service in ages.

Also did the 82 used to go to Parkhill Estate?

Yes, as far as I can see there is no change to the 82 or 87 services

Who comes up with this poor choice of routing into Coventry?
- Why Tanners Lane instead of Duggins Lane which is more residential and has physical bus stops in situ.
- Part of Torrington Avenue is missed out, goes via Tile Hill Lane instead which already has 5 buses per hour, a bitter pill if it's just an attempt of a saving time just for the bus to....
- Go via Earlsdon which fair enough I agree with as it doubles the daytime frequency here with service 51.

I would say it's to avoid the trek down to Sir Henry Parkes Avenue roundabout to turn around - the old 192/194 services used to come down Eastcotes/Westcotes from Tile Hill Lane one-way, but I don't think those roads are bus suitable any more.

The 194 used to go up Duggins Lane but if Tanners Lane is used then the bus hits that chunk of housing by the crossroads.

Some things seem to be convoluted.
