Leicester, Hinckley & Loughborough

26th February 2008

One of those fascinating places for buses that is always worth breaking a journey on the train for, Leicester was down to a single Lynx seen in 2008, but plenty of variety and lots of buses going in all directions. Hinckley has little of interest other than Arriva but Loughborough still has a good selection of routes and operators.
