Electric Railway Museum, Coventry

[shredder1]

I`ll be heading there on Sunday, staying in Birmingham Saturday night, does anyone know if I can get to it by bus from Coventry railway station or anywhere else?

Situated next to Coventry Airport, you’d think it’d be on the public transport map, but the airport is private, so there’s limited buses to it on Saturdays, and none on a Sunday.

Despite that, and the warning from the museum that it’s a 2 hour walk, it’s actually about an hour’s brisk walk from Coventry train station.

Nearest bus routes are probably a good half hour walk. 21 I think goes nearest on a Sunday.

When Coventry Airport actually had proper scheduled Thomsonfly flights in the mid-noughties, there was a regular bus link by way of the 737 (or 757?) service a couple of times an hour. Now long since defunct.

What a shame, I`ll try the 21 then, many thanks

I found it's a taxi job, especially on a Sunday.

Take a push-bike with you on the train?
