How is the taxi situation in Coventry? I read the famous black cabs are/were made there, but I'll need one to ride in! Hahaha!
Arrive that afternoon, and will need transport out to the "other" Hilton, then over to the gig and back...

It seems like the last train from Coventry Arena Station leaves at 22:34. But surely they do set up some extra trains running after the show??
Don't bank on it. There will definitely be shuttle buses available to take you back to Coventry City Centre though.

Yes the black cabs were made there and i still think they are.
Should have no problem getting a black cab, but you will pay more than the normal cabs these days.

I sent an email to Rioch Arena and this was the answer:
"Firstly, the Arena Park station will be closed on the night of the concert as it is unable to cope with the numbers of visitors who will be leaving the concert. This is a decision made by the rail company.
There will be shuttle buses arranged and plenty of taxis available and full details will be posted on our website nearer the time."

Thanks for the info... Sounds like with no train service, the cabbies will make some cabbage that weekend!

I have to fly out the day after Coventry. Any locals have any advice for getting to/from Coventry? Is it better to take the train, or rent a car?

Flying out of London?
If so then don't rely on public transportation to get you there especially at weekends as engineering works are often carried out at weekends on the rail system,I would rent a car.

Realize it still falls under public transport, but the National Express buses go to Coventry from Heathrow and back for reasonable fares.
I'm utilizing them quite a bit for getting around.

Just received a message from AXS telling me that I’ll have to collect my ticket on the day having told me that it was being posted last week.
