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 with bus operators and other stakeholders in Leicestershire Buses and, through the BSIP+ grant funding award, considering new and different approaches to how local bus service networks are provided.
Bus services in your area
A range of Sustainable Travel Roadshows are being held across the county as the review progresses. As we move through each of the five area phases (see table at the bottom of this page), information about new, amended and improved services will be updated below.
