West Midlands bus routes 19, 19W and 19X (Coventry)
West Midlands bus routes 19, 19W and 19X (Coventry) are bus services in the city of Coventry in the West Midlands region of England, with the 19W/19X extending beyond Coventry to Solihull as a replacement for National Express West Midlands routes 192 and 194
These routes combined now create up to 4 buses per hour into Coventry for the most of Canley residents, where previously only 3 buses per hour. The also have improved links between Solhull and the Heart of England villages with Westwood Business Park and the University of Warwick.
With routes 19W/19X serving Solihull it will mean that National Express Coventry will once again be operating in the Solhull area for the first time since 1994 when they last operated the 192/194.
