And the other end of the 14 and 97 route question?

I hope that the post that I've just done to @Kevin answers you question @Tony?

Again no I wouldn't it's only if it on out bound journeys that I am talking about and not inbound... And I'm not suggesting that the 2 services that terminate on the up road of Moor Street should be shown on the Queensway it's just if it operates along the whole road if there's room I'd like to see it mentione in a list of services.. Again I'm not suggeting that moor Street Queensway should show all services listed as I can seee these not enough room on it.. 😁

So if it uses the first 20m yes if it uses 200m no?

When you put it like that @Tony yes it does sound a bit silly but as it only serves the 200m on inboud journeys I don't think it's worth the hassle but if it's just the 20yrds then yes.. but again I wouldn't list it as I know there's no room to do it... except at the other end  of the 97 or 14 route. but again that would be silly as it has to turn around somewhere to start the journey back to the City.

So it is silly on the outer end of the route, but a must on the inner end, despite both being just to turn around somewhere to get to the first loading stop?

Agian as you put it like that.. I can see where you're coming from.. I hold my hands up again.... I haven't suggest it anyway... I was just mearly asking  if the 35 sill operated onto Moor Street Queensway.. I didn't expect it to get blown up out of all proportion!! I will now stop it... 😁

Does anybody know what the route of the Coventry 41 is in Willenhall? As the map in the timetable says it serves Dunsmore Avenue, St James Lane, Yarningdale Road, Middle Ride, St James Lane, Rememberance Road, Dunsmore Ave and then St James Lane to London Road and does  St James Lane, Yarningdale Road, Middle Ride, St James Lane, Rememberance Road, Donesmore Avenue, then the loop again via St James Lane back to Dunsmore Avenue and then to Coventry. It can't do that loop twice surely?

As a commuter, I'm really worried that TfWM is using people like you to find information for maps and timetables etc. They are supposed to communicate with operators aren't they? And on top of all that you're arguing with someome who quite clearly knows what they're talking about.

@bususer28
They are supposted to konw these things... They also do lease with the operator but they can't alway get things right as I have proved with my 129 observatiins of Birminghamd map... Plus the current timetable for the 41 shows the above route but the area map shows a different route. so which one is the correct one?! 😁

@bususer28
They aren't properly using me.. They probably check that I correct before they amend it and if I'm wrong then it won't get amended.

As stated before mist of my observations have been taken on board... 😁 So I must be doing something right aren't I? 😁

It's a circular route.

It goes from Cov down the London Road to Willenhall, does that loop, then goes and does a full loop of the Stonehouse Estate, then take the route back to Coventry through the Whitely estate (Abbey Road) back to Cov.

Thanks @ellspurs

Do you know if it does London Road between St James Lane and Chace Ave back towards Cov or does it do the loop in both directions?

I know the web page that you've given above shows it operating along London Road but 'normally' the route would do the same route in both directions and not just in one direction..

Do you also know if the loop at Cannon Park is done in both directions? Or is it a one way loop  I think it is a one way look but I can't remember if it is as it's been such a long time since I was last over there...

On its return to the city centre; up Remembrance Rd, left onto St James Lane, right onto Middle Ride (passing the chip shop) most of the way round Middle Ride, then left in Yarningale Rd and left again back onto St James Lane for the short distance to London Road.
