The 526 used to do a long one but I think it's replacement just carries on now.
Yeah it used to do a u-turn via a roundabout on Ednam Road
We'll get rid of your bus to Wolves and replace it with one to Walsall instead.......... Oh the joy of a Network Review. -_-

5 does a similar thing, kind of a loop at Widney Manor Station.

Apart from when late running drivers take a peek to see if anyone's waiting (towards Solihull) and just drive past if there isn't!

I never did such a thing!  ;)

There are a few routes in Coventry that do a loop en route:

NXC #3A to reach Whitley from London Road heading to Willenhall;
NXC #5 at both Everdon Road in Holbrooks (both directions) and to reach Torrington Avenue off Fletchamstead Highway heading to Tile Hill;
NXC #6/A to serve Sainsbury's in Whoberley heading to Tanyard Farm;
NXC 8 when serving Crosspoint/Walsgrave Triangle;
Services calling at Cannon Park shops (e.g. NXC 18A, Johnson's 87 and others);
de Courcey #703, 704 and 585 loop around to serve University Hospital before heading out in a different direction;
de Courcey #778 serving Hawkesbury (Black Horse Road).

That's all I can think of at the moment.

The 405 does a U turn in the fact it has to go back on itself when heading to Stone Cross in both directions.

Yeah, totally forgot about that! Left out of Cockshut Hill down an round the island and back on itself to Horrel Rd, only towards Solihull though!
