West Midlands bus routes 19, 19W and 19X (Coventry) are bus services in the city of Coventry in the West Midlands region of England, linking the city's Pool Meadow Bus Station with Tile Hill South. Certain journeys on services 19W and 19X formerly extended to Solihull, replacing National Express West Midlands routes 192 and 194. These journeys having been replaced by a new service 82 in April 2010.
However Central Connect operate one journey numbered 19W during the Monday to Friday morning peak, starting at Balsall Common into Solihull departing Balsall Common at 0740.
As part of the major changes to Solihull's bus network on 25 January 2009 services 192 and 194 (Coventry to Solihull operated by National Express West Midlands) transferred operation to National Express Coventry, the route numbers became 19W and 19X with the route also revised to operate via Westwood Business Park and Charter Avenue in lieu of Torrington Avenue.[1] These routes combined now create up to 4 buses per hour into Coventry for the most of Canley residents, where previously only 3 buses per hour. They also improved links between Solihull and the Heart of England villages with Westwood Business Park and the University of Warwick. The routes have since been curtailed to terminate at Tile Hill South. However, the service has now been reduced back to three buses an hour.
