I see that the new outer circle route will not solve the problem of the residents of Lentons Lane. At the moment we are in a state of curfew from 4.30pm until 7.30am Monday to Saturday with no service on Sundays or bank holidays. To get to the city or the hospital it means a walk of 1/2 mile, plus no Sunday shopping or visits to the Belgrade. The other point is that there is no bus service to the rapidly expanding cemetery at the four corners on Sundays or the aforementioned Bank holidays
When can we get the local councillors to put some pressure on Centro to give us a reliable regular service that as ratepayers we deserve. |

Regarding Gosford Street, what was the reason for the objection to that particular proposed route?
Oh, I obviously need some practise with the tram-spotting so I have found another one on the Binley Road! Cracking old photo with some great details.

It wasn't so much that anyone objected as that a regular bus service had already begun. Likewise on the other proposed routes.
It does still puzzle me though that Gosford Street never had a tram service, being part of the principal east-west route across the city?

Peter Walduck has pioneered an excellent forum about the history of Coventry Corporation Transport (CCT). It can be found at http://www.cwk205.com/
Also he has started a general bus forum at http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Farestage/
It is worth visiting these if you are at all interested in the development of public transport in Coventry. Please feel free to register and comment on the two sites.
The above message was posted over two years ago into its own thread, and has perhaps not been seen by newer members of the forum
Sadly, Peter (aka Sandy Lane) has since passed away, but his legacy lives on for the benefit of those with an interest in Coventry and its transport history |

In those days there was also another bottleneck at the bottom of Gosford Street where the ancient malthouse projected some distance from the building line on the north side. It was removed some years later and the road considerably widened but I've never been able to determine exactly when?

NB: The pub on the left is the New Inn and not the Fox & Vivian as you might expect.

Can I warn any one who is disabled that might have a scooter or electric wheelchair they might not be able to gain access to WM buses as some one I know the other day caught the bus into town then tried catching the bus to the hospital and was refused on with her electric wheelchair, the bus driver said scooters need a pass, she explained to the driver it wasn't a scooter but he still refused her access which made her late for her appointment, the driver stated she had to have a pass for health and safety, which now applies to the scooters some disabled people use, wheelchairs are ok, she had to complain, stating she has used the buses for 15 years with no trouble. Pool Meadow said they would have a word with the driver to tell him it's ok for electric wheelchairs.
