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.
Network Review Phases
The network review is taking place in 5 phases across the county between now and mid 2025. Each phase will be supported by our Sustainable Travel Roadshows. The table below shows the current timings.
