Coventry

From the train station you have to walk through the bad ideas of the 1960s planners to get to the lovely old town and The Lanes area with the cathedrals and the other older buildings.

This was a fantastic station to both arrive and depart at, with appropriately sized platforms! The station has a throwback design in multiple areas and navigation is easy using the various signs; information is also clearly provided by the departure boards. A Christmas tree up was a lovely addition, the staff were helpful with any problems, the bridge is a smooth link between platforms and cleanliness had been maintained!

A okay station in my opinion. There is two station buildings/complexes. One is the old one which has m&s shop inside and barriers. M&S does close early on some days 8/9pm. The new one is built across the road, with a new car park. Below the car park, they have Sainsbury’s and a new Greggs opening. There are toilets on platform (2 and 3) and many footbridges to connect you between platforms and ticket station. There are also waiting rooms on platform 1 and vending machines. There are lifts aswell. There is taxi service outside the old station building and pick-up/drop-off area is located between old and new building. It can get busy there as it is a single lane road which joins with traffic leaving from car park.

Modern and clean station. Step free access for bikes and disabled.

A wonderful modernist gem of a station. The new extension has provided extra capacity and will have shops towards the end of the year.
