Important Update: Changes to Early Morning Bus Services

Routes 41 and 42, introduced as part of a two-year pilot, will stop operating from Friday 26 September 2025 due to low usage. To minimise disruption, the University has worked with National Express to introduce additional early morning journeys on existing routes, covering areas previously served by 41 and 42 and providing connections to campus.

Full details of the new and updated services are available [HERELink opens in a new window].

Speed Limit Changes Around Campus

The University supported Coventry City Council鈥檚 proposal to amend speed limits on adjacent and adjoining roads, including revoking the existing 40mph speed limit on Stoneleigh Road and Gibbet Hill Road.

This change has now been implemented, meaning both roads have reverted to a 30mph national speed limit. Reducing the speed limit from 40mph to 30mph is expected to lower traffic speeds, which will, in turn, help reduce traffic noise and improve conditions for residents, cyclists, and pedestrians. 

The speed limit on campus is set at 20mph to prioritise the safety of all road users, particularly pedestrians and cyclists. A lower speed limit can reduce the likelihood and severity of collisions, creating a safer environment for students, staff, and visitors.

An infographic displaying the closure dates of the A46 near Kenilworth between 8pm Friday 11th April to 6am Thursday 1st May.

Balfour Beatty VINCI are working, in partnership with HS2 and National Highways, to construct the A46 box structure which will carry the new HS2 line under the A46 near Kenilworth. To support this, the A46 Kenilworth Bypass will be closed for up to 3 weeks. The closure period will be:

From 8pm on Friday 11 April until 6am Thursday 1 May 2025

A clearly signed diversion route will be in place over this period with advance signage in place to help remind motorists of the closure.

We would encourage everyone to follow the diversion route, plan ahead and importantly leave more time for journeys. For information on the diversions, please visit .
