Born in Leicester, now I live in Melbourne Australia. Nice to see my old stamping ground. Great service to people like me, never to go home, but still keeping in contact. Thanks.

Leicester changed a lot

[@cdname47]

Did you go Melbourne to Melbourne? lol

[@cdname47]

I cannnot believe you can get a bus from Derby or Leicster to Donington Park right to the entrance and no-one seemingly knows about it, judging by how much the circuit clogs the local roads with traffic for the big race meetings or particularly download... I mean, don't tell any racing fans, I want this to myself tbf, but still, door to door service is a rareity in the racetrack world, so kudos to this operator for including it.

Great video, you just got yourself another subscriber!

[@leicestertravels4705]

Great, thanks.

Hey everyone, I hope you've enjoyed all the routes. This is the last of the routes that I've done, but stay tuned, because I also did the other way of each one. These may take longer to get up as due to busy schedules, I'll stick one when there's time (I uploaded these ones all in one go and set them to go public at 8am exact on their set day). Unlike these ones, which was numeric order, they will be uploaded in the order of how much I enjoyed travelling on the route.

This one my favourite bus in Leicestershire

[@leicestertravels4705]

That's what I like about the A6 corridor, both my favourite double-deckers and single-deckers go out that way.

[@WayneTulip-zm9gw]

02:07 I’m surprised the bus overtook the car, either the car was going very slow or the bus is a beast.

[@leicestertravels4705]

Those Citaros were beasts. As for the car, the A6 is still a local road between Leicester and Loughborough so chances are it was leaving at the next exit.

[@MTVvids]

I finally caught this yesterday funnily enough, and I have to say it's very fun after Birstall until Loughborough!! ;)

[@leicestertravels4705]

I did it before you? Can you remember which bus it was because inside, 907-914 are a bit different to 915-917. My favourite section was Loughborough to Castle Donington.

[@MTVvids]

@@leicestertravels4705 I didn't timelapse it, just caught it to Leicester ;) On way it was BF67WHR and on the way back it was BT66TZE 👍

[@leicestertravels4705]

So you got the helper going back. I got 912 (BX64WJC) for the return and I think the announcements were too quiet, and also there was no bell sound. This one just had one to make out and sounded like an old mobile phone going off, and while 912 had an L.E.D sign with the stop names, this one just had a TV positioned like the 158 Sapphires. There were no announcements on this one, like the one I got the video on. It just said welcome the whole time, similar to 3800 in my video, which just said 158 to Leicester. Also, this one had a charging point for the seat behind the door, whereas 912 didn’t.

These Mercs are up in Scotland now, I think. Found out by looking on Flickr.

[@iknowiamiwill423]

M1 junction I was there, just noticed

[@leicestertravels4705]

Really?

[@iknowiamiwill423]

I'm not sure, it looked like me.

[@Przerwa-TV-HD]

I think on st margaret’s bus station where the Buses go there is gonna be a way for Buses that go on the (A47 Burleys way) for the Buses that go on It will have a way for Them so ya!

[@leicestertravels4705]

I think you mean the A594, for the A6 and A50.

[@Przerwa-TV-HD]

leicesterbusadventurer I meant A596

[@leicestertravels4705]

Well you can’t because that’s in Cumbria.

[@leeroygotami6278]

How much is the (adult) fair for a single journey? Also, do you pay in the bus or do you have to book before hand?

[@leicestertravels4705]

I think it was around £6 something (it was nearly 3 years ago so it might have changed), but I don’t know as I got a return and yeah, you can pay onboard.

[@yashiboy1234]

Did this route used to use plaxton centros

[@leicestertravels4705]

[@yashiboy1234]

@@leicestertravels4705 your bus was slow

[@user-iz5wj7gr6q]

Whats the diversion?

[@leicestertravels4705]

The new bridge over the M1 wasn’t finished so it had to carry on to the junction and enter Kegworth that way.
