The bus turning circle at the west end of Oban Road is no longer necessary for turning buses, as the route that serves Oban Road (effectively a shortworking of route 20 from Coventry city centre to Bedworth) returns to the main road via Woodshires Road (out of frame to the left). However, with the bus stop still in the turning circle, it effectively functions as a large layby. This is a largely residential part of the city, despite the industrial premises visible on Oban Road.
