Pool Meadow Bus Station is a bus station in the city of Coventry, England. It is managed by Network West Midlands. Local bus and national coach services operated by various companies serve the bus station which has 19 departure stands. Coordinates: 52°24′37″N 1°30′25″W / 52.410365°N 1.506999°W National Express West Midlands has its depot adjacent to the bus station. The bus station is located at the opposite side of city centre to Coventry railway station. It can be reached by a short walk or by a regular bus service.
The bus station opened in 1994, work having begun on its construction in 1993, replacing simple rows of bus shelters - initially installed as a temporary measure in the early 1960s which eventually stood for thirty years.
There are 19 departure stands, each labelled using letters between A and U. The first three stands are used for National Express Coaches services, the remaining for city scheduled bus services. Stand D is used for Megabus who start using the station as of 22 May 2017. Thandi and New Bahrat also use the station on stands B and C. Electronic timetable displays are in use at most of these stands, as well as at the entrances to the bus station having been installed on 8 September 2008.
Transport for West Midlands charge a fee to bus companies every time they use the bus station. Stagecoach in Warwickshire believes the fee is too high and have as a result excluded their commercial bus routes from serving the bus station.
