Nxwm 900

Network West Midlands lists a route change for the 900:

To operate between Meriden and Airport express via A45

Does this mean it won't serve the B4104 (Copse Drive, specifically)?

No, I think it means at the A452 Stonebridge island it will go over the flyover rather than serving the old bus stop in the layby by the Malt Shovel and negotiating the island; also possibly at the M42 island it will again go straight across rather than stopping on the slip road near the National Motorcycle Museum. That would presumably be to avoid delays at those roundabouts. But I could stand to be corrected as I can't find any further details either.

Of course, any time savings are then negated by the fact that it's apparently going to go in and out of the Parkhill Estate near Alleseley again.

Anyone know what the loadings are like from Parkhill as the last time i was on the 900 a few years ago not many boarded there[& this was about 10:30am on a weekday]. Think it might be better rerouting the local Coventry routes 7/75 through there.
