Service 125

Castle Donington to Leicester via Coalville & Bradgate Park

Operated by Roberts Coaches

Supported by Leicestershire County Council

 

Service Information

In Castle Donington, Service 125 serves Hill Top, High Street and the Bus Station ONLY. 

This service was also due to serve Station Road, Trent Lane, Back Lane, Darsway, School Lane, The Green and Park Lane as previously advised at community engagement events.

These streets are not being served because:

• The previous service (155) served these streets on route to East Midlands Airport. As service 125 does not serve the Airport, this section of route is not required.
• The commercial My15 service provides access to essential facilities and services for residents of these streets.
• Access to essential services for villages to the South of Castle Donington is retained by serving Castle Donington Bus Station on service 125.
• The service 125 timetable would experience reliability issues if these streets were included in the route.
