Leicestershire Bus Service Improvement Plan 2025
This document sets out how our plans to improve bus services and increase passenger numbers in Leicestershire are being delivered.
The Leicestershire Bus Service Improvement Plan 2025 (LBSIP25) provides a strong evidence-based approach to meeting the aims of the National Bus Strategy and plays a key role in achieving our Local Transport Plan (LTP4) goals to enable more travel choices and increase accessibility on the passenger transport network.
The LBSIP25 shows what has been achieved by:
- Implementing a county-wide review of the Leicestershire bus network with redesigned local services, added evening and Sunday provision and more journeys to meet essential student and commuter travel needs
- Providing a significantly expanded FoxConnect digital demand responsive transport (DDRT) service to many settlements previously without any form of bus service or only a few journeys on a specific day of the week
- Working with bus operators and Government funding to introduce electric buses on major bus routes from market towns to Leicester and to upgrade the Loughborough local network
- Clearer branding of the supported network as Leicestershire Buses and its application to bus service and other information
- Promotions to encourage bus use to local facilities and seasonal events
The LBSIP25 also sets out the next steps that are being taken to provide improved bus stop and waiting facilities to complement the new services, work with neighbouring authorities and Leicester City Council on further improvements to the wider bus offer and significantly improve online and printed information.
