Festive Timetables
We are launching festive timetables this December to increase access to local destinations, market towns and seasonal events. These services not only provide key transport links to help you get there but also spread some festive joy in our communities!
The 12 seasonal services across the county will be completely FREE to use!
The temporary festive timetables will be funded by Leicestershire County Council’s BSIP+ grant funding and will be delivered on behalf of Leicestershire Buses.
Get on board with the festive spirit and check out where you could travel to by bus!
