Improving Leicestershire’s bus network
from 6 January 2025
We’ll be making changes to some of our services across Leicestershire to introduce a new service, extend some journeys and provide timetables better suited to customer’s needs.
5/5A/X5 Leicester to East Goscote and Melton Mowbray
The 0736 X5 from Melton Mowbray Valley Road will now start at 0725 from Windsor Street, allowing customers travelling into Melton on the 5A arriving 0720 to stay onboard the bus and travel around the 'Valley Road loop' to reach Melton Vale Sixth Form.
In Queniborough both 5 and 5A will now call through the centre of this growing village, running along Syston Road and Rearsby Road. X5 journeys will continue to run directly along Melton Road.
11/11A/12 Coalville to Agar Nook
There'll be changes to the timetable of service 11/11A, with buses now running every hour Monday to Friday as well as on Saturday.
We're also introducing new route 12 following local feedback, which will run hourly Monday to Friday between Whitwick and Memorial Square calling at City of Three Waters, King Richard's Hill and Whitwick Market Place.
27 Leicester to Ratby and Coalville
There'll be changes to the afternoon timetable of this service, to better reflect current traffic levels and journey times. We'd like to thank customers from Ratby and Groby for their patience while we've worked with local stakeholders to make these changes.
50 Leicester to Fosse Park and Narborough
The 0548 from Narborough into Leicester will run 5 minutes later throughout, to pass through St John's at the right time for night shift workers at Topps Tiles and ESPO.
X3 Leicester to Market Harborough
Buses will now call at the new Airfield Farm development between Kibworth and Market Harborough, coming in and out via the new bridge at Peter Callis Way.
As a result of our partnership with the housing developers we will also be introducing a Sunday service on this route.
The timetable will continue to coordinate with Stagecoach X7 and tickets will continue to be accepted across both operators as current.
X6 Leicester to Coventry FAST
Buses will now depart from Stand A at Coventry's Pool Meadow Bus Station. There is no change to the timetable.
