A NEW limited-stop express service was
introduced by Coventry City Transport last week, as part of the city's plans for a largescale switch to one-man operation. The service runs from the Pool Meadow bus station in the city centre to Henley Green, and operates as a limited-stop service as far as the Wyken Pippin, about half-way along the route. Beyond this point normal stopping places are observed.
A 20-minute frequency is employed at peak hours and 30 minutes at off-peaks and the service operates Mondays to Saturdays. New Eastern Coach Works-bodied Bristol buses are employed on the service. Three of the buses are 44-seaters with a double-width entrance-exit, while the remaining three vehicles are 42-seat buses with a single-width entrance and separate central exit.
Passengers will not be set down between Pool Meadow and the Wyken Pippin during the evening peaks on Mondays to Fridays, to ensure that short-distance riders do not keep longer distance passengers off the buses.
