Leicestershire Network Review

Local area bus services that are funded by the Council are being reviewed to create more travel opportunities for Leicestershire residents and to support the wider network provided by bus operators. This review involves partnership working through Leicestershire Buses and, through the BSIP+ grant funding award, considering new and different approaches to how local bus service networks are provided.

There will be a range of Sustainable Travel Roadshows across the county as the review progresses through each phase. As we move through the phases (see table at the bottom of this page), information about new, amended and improved services will be updated below.
