Travel in Warwickshire by Bus compiled by WCC
allows you to Search for a Bus Timetable and find
Service Number, Route Descriptiom & Days of Operation for Kenilworth buses
Click on a service number to download the timetable from either WCC,
or else that from the Stagecoach & National Express West Midlands operators.

Moreover, Network West Midlands has Centro online information listing all bus stop names
after timetables ( periodically updated ) for services which penetrate Coventry, West Midlands
as well as traversing Warwickshire.

Although the naming of bus stops is inconsistent, the National Public Transport Access Node ( NaPTAN )
allocates a unique eight digit SMS code for every bus stop in Warwickshire starting with { war????? }.
"The delivery of the countywide SMS ( Short Message Service ) provision was another landmark
improvement in the quality and accessibility of bus information in Warwickshire.
All bus stops now have a printed SMS code clearly on display,
allowing bus passengers to access bus information via a mobile phone."
transportdirect.info Online GB Map Finder will display a street map for any Address/postcode with
nearby bus stops marked. At greatest 'zoom in' magnification each bus stop is named and
the SMS code for each bus stop is revealed.
Do try it for the postcode CV8 1QJ and show the SMS codes for the three bus stops at
the Abbey End transport hub. A click & drag on the map will show the other bus stops in Kenilworth.

All Services in Kenilworth use the Bus Stops near the Clock Tower
Google map of Bus Stops at Abbey End going north from the Clock Tower :-
at shelter A by the shops, downhill of the yellow Bus Focal Point stand { waragtgw }
at shelter B by the shops, uphill of the yellow Bus Focal Point stand { waragtja }
