Park & Ride bus

Residents travelling to the city centre for the big Christmas lights switch-on next week can take advantage of extra Park & Ride bus services.

On Thursday, 22 November, Leicester Park & Ride services will run later into the evening to make it easier for spectators to travel into the city.

The Birstall, Enderby and Meynell’s Gorse services, which are jointly run by Leicester City Council and the county council, will run every fifteen minutes until 8.30pm, with the last bus out of the city centre departing at 9pm.

Group tickets are just £4 for up to five people travelling together in the same car. All sites have free parking and free Wi-Fi is available on all buses.

More information, including the location of the sites, fare prices and more, is available on the Leicester Park & Ride website at www.leicesterparkandride.co.uk.
