German passengers "stranded" at CVT
Went to CVT today due to the HLX start, and coming back from airport saw a crowd of passengers at a bus stop heading OUT of town. Turned out that they had been dropped there by the airport car park shuttle, and were expecting a bus going IN to the city.
Who knows how long they might have waited if they hadn't been sent to the correct bus stop 100m away on the other side of the road.
This is a major embarrassment for CVT - German passengers are used to high speed rail services whisking them to and from the airport. No-one's saying a train is viable at CVT, but 6 months since opening, and there is still not even a basic bus to the city centre - and information about this is extremely sparse.
Result - to make onward journeys, pax have to take the parking shuttle, then a bus into town, then quite possibly another bus to the rail station, before they can even begin their onward journey. And if they want to head towards Leicester, they must take another rail replacement bus to Nuneaton first.
