Bus operator fees

Network West Midlands (Centro) charge a fee to bus companies every time they use the bus station, Stagecoach in Warwickshire believes the fee is too high and have as a result excluded their commercial bus routes from serving the bus station.

Millennium Place

From 9 June 2002 to 1 April 2006 the development of the nearby Millennium Place traffic-free public square which intersects the Fairfax Street/Hales Street/Trinity Street junction had effectively "cut off" access between the bus station and the rest of the City Centre and only a few bus routes served the bus station as a result, it became regarded as a white elephant and was threatened with closure. On 2 April 2006 a controversial bus only link road cutting across Millennium Place was opened [1] allowing many bus routes to start using the bus station again and protect its future. National Express Coventry now have more routes than ever serving the bus station, the busy cross city routes 4, 21, and 36 did not serve the bus station prior to 9 June 2002.
