Last govt cut funding saying they weren’t sure Cov was the right place apparently. Agree though, just build a fucking tram, not everything has to be “innovative”.
The plans already exist for VLR but the problem is we seem to be reinventing the wheel with VLR so rather than being able to crack on and start building using the same tech in place elsewhere we've got to develop new tech and run trials.
Will be decades before this is up and running, if ever.

Who was he again,but makes little difference if we're subservient to greater conurbation I think (I want a Cov orbital metro. Stops at Torrington Ave, Warwick Uni, War Memorial, Finham, Willenhall, Binley, Walsgrave, the CBS, Prologis Park, Browns Lane, Eastern Green.
Don’t need to mess about with city centre traffic and building, would serve 90% of the city’s transport needs. Can add in cross lines into the centre later.
What’s the new WM Mayor doing? I’ve heard nothing since his election.

Parker ( I had already Googled)Id have to google. I want to say Richard someone?
Nah, that's the name of the tiger in Life of Pi.Parker ( I had already Googled)
Three years is a very tight schedule for a project of that size.Park and Ride with tram stops at Exhall, Binley Woods, Baginton and Allesley with route North:South and East:West through city centre with stops at rail station and CBS Arena.
Start with the Exhall Baginton route to include railway station and CBS Arena.
Or something like that. Should be finished about the time we win the. Champions League.
So straightforward and simple.I've always thought that a Park & Ride based at Ansty could serve Walsgrave Hospital during the day and Arena events as required
It's definitely a major positive and something I wish we did. It's also potentially worth pointing out, last time we went to Brighton, we waited for probably over an hour to get the free bus back to the car park. As an experience, it's not one I am really envious of. Instead of sitting in a car waiting, I was stood waiting for a bus, which then takes 15 minutes to get you to your car, which you then have to queues to join.For Brighton tickets holders Bus and train tickets from Brighton and Lewis are free of charge
we parked in Lewis - got the bus there and the train back - we had to queue to get back on the train after the match but unlike the toy train at the CBS it was full length - decent planning by the clubIt's definitely a major positive and something I wish we did.

I guess the location of the stadium influences that.. Fair chance it’s factored into the ticket cost as well.we parked in Lewis - got the bus there and the train back - we had to queue to get back on the train after the match but unlike the toy train at the CBS it was full length - decent planning by the club
And hence will never happenSo straightforward and simple
I’m sure your mrs didn’t mean it.I nearly got run over on the way to the Arena today. Perhaps the road should be closed before matches.
yes it isSo, where's everyone parking this coming season?
I see it's an eye-watering £18 to park at Arena Park. That really is a piss take. Surely, the most expensive parking in the league?
Dunno but the X17 bus into Cov from Warwick Road runs fairly frequently and they are running free shuttles to the arena from the Rail Interchange near Central Six.I've never ever tried using the train station at the Stadium to the point I know nothing about it. Whenever I get to a game now I go to my parents in Kenilworth first. Is a train from Kenilworth to the CBS even an option or is it a shit show?

If you mean holbrooke lane end of lythalls lane there are a few you can look at.Apologies in advance, I imagine this has been asked and answered loads before. But could do with making a quick exit on Boxing Day, is there anywhere off Lythall Lane (or that side of the ground) that’s like a 10-15 min walk where I can pay to park and avoid the road closures (unsure where they start/finish that side)
I used to do this then we had our catalytic converter stolen off the car. If you’re “that” side of the ground, do you have anywhere you’d recommend where you won’t get your car smashed up haha. We were in victory Road. Ironically namedI tried many parking things this season including, Finbars - Took over an hour to get out. Park on drive - Was ok but close by drives costing upwards of £20, I have now taken to parking just outside the permit area, takes me 20 mins to walk, then a 20min drive home its free and by far the fastest way......
You need a less desirable car to play that card.I used to do this then we had our catalytic converter stolen off the car. If you’re “that” side of the ground, do you have anywhere you’d recommend where you won’t get your car smashed up haha. We were in victory Road. Ironically named
Haha, it was my old man's car and it was worth probably £500, a proper old banger.You need a less desirable car to play that card.

Fooking ridiculous closing the roads for that long.Spend the Bridge Road Bike Lane money on improving the pedestrian bridges etc. I will await the bollocking for bringing something over from the politics thread. Do your worst shmmeee, it's an appropriate comparisonTrying to find the guy who does this as it’s £50 cheaper than the official ones. Anyone know who this is?
Usually park at Tesco and buy a voucher but with the road closures now in place will look to avoid this. Shame as it was technically free parking. Just not worth the extra 40 mins on top of a 100 mile drive.
Cat may have been worth more than the cAR. NOT AN ISSUE WITH AN EV. More on the basis that they have no cat and ignoringbg the rampant depreciation they seem to suffer.Haha, it was my old man's car and it was worth probably £500, a proper old banger.
