North West Leicestershire Bus Services

The North West Leicestershire bus services that are funded by the Council have been reviewed to create more travel opportunities, offer link to local leisure and tourism, and improve access for onward travel connections.

Changes to service numbers 7 and 125 came into effect from Monday 14th July 2025 as well as a new FoxConnect zone to replace several local Taxi DRT services.
