This short loop of road is all that now remains of Canley Road north of the railway line. It has a bus stop in it, and its main purpose now appears to be to allow the bus to turn round. Canley road used to cross the railway line via a level crossing, and the road still continues the other side of the railway. The crossing was closed in 2003 as part of the upgrading of the West Coast Main Line, http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2003/1075/schedule/3/made , but there was local concern about the plans, and meetings were held. http://www.cwn.org.uk/politics/coventry-city-council/2001/03/010309-level-crossing.htm For an old view of the level crossing see Image, and for an overview of where it was see Image
