Coventry timetable & route changes from 30th August 2020

From Sunday 30th August there will be some changes to buses in Coventry including extra journeys, more buses, route and number changes, electric buses and frequency increases. 

The changes are being introduced to respond to changes in use of bus services as the Covid-19 situation evolves and to ensure we have enough buses in the right places.

The changes see the introduction of new services 14/14A providing links from the University of Warwick to Canley, Tile Hill, Eastern Green and Whoberley.
