Who is going to this one? And does anyone know if the bus is nice an easy? x

[slatted]

I am interested in the bus too....have tried looking up the number 15 online but does not seem to exist....bus 9 or 9A seem to go to parts of Green Lane though.

I will be going to this to take my hybrid boys to Vectis my first show...eek! I'm not sure about the buses but I work in Coventry so I will ask around at work this week and see if I can find anything out that will be of use to you

[slatted]

Thanks Nikkigrace that will be very helpful.

[Nikkigrace]

I have asked around and it appears that the number 9 bus goes from Coventry train station to Green Lane. I am not sure where abouts on Green Lane the venue is though and Green Lane looks quite long on a map so not sure if there will be multiple stops on it and if so, which one to get off at.
Not sure if that was any help at all really?!

[slatted]

Thanks for that. I have downloaded the timetable and will be having a look on google maps. This should help

I remember green lane from finding it last year. Its not far at all. Google maps should help.
