New bus route for Loughborough announced

A new bus route is launching to serve Loughborough after feedback from residents.

Kinchbus is shaking up its services through the town in Leicestershire from Sunday.

This includes launching a new hourly Monday to Saturday Kinchbus 3 service to Tynedale Road.

Meanwhile, the daytime frequency of the Kinchbus 2 service to Quorn, Barrow-upon-Soar and Sileby, will be increased to hourly from Monday to Saturday.

There are also changes being brought in for the Kinchbus 5 route, which will no longer serve Poplar Road or Fairmeadows Way but will link with a local supermarket and community centre.

Some minor changes are also planned for the Kinchbus 11 and 12 services through Shelthorpe, Thorpe Acre and Dishley.
