Timetable updates for the Festive season

We're excited to announce that we are adding some extended and additional routes for the festive season. On Wednesday 19th November, we will be extending our running time until 9pm for the Leicester Christmas Lights Switch on. We'll also be running a service from 10am - 5pm on the first three Sundays in December so you can get ahead on that Christmas shopping!

Enjoy stress-free travel with our Park & Ride service

The Leicester's Park & Ride services offer a quick, easy and convenient way to travel into the city centre. The three Park & Ride sites are dotted around the edge of the city and have CCTV in operation.

Simply park up at one of the sites and hop onto the all-electric branded buses to the city centre which run every 15 minutes. Travel time is between 10 and 20 minutes.

Customer Care Policy

Please note: You are no longer able to collect Park and Ride Passes from any of the 3 sites. Following payment, your pass will be posted out to you, so please allow time for postage when selecting your start date.

Routes & Timetables

To expand accessibility across the city, we have added new stops across all three Leicester Park & Ride routes. This will still follow a direct route into the city, but allows for more stops along the route. You can see full route information and new timetables by downloading the information packs below for each individual site.






Our new Park & Ride timetable leaflet is now live!

In line with the updates coming soon to the Leicester Park & Ride service, you can now download the updated timetable and route leaflet for all three routes!

Frequently Asked Questions

We understand that change to services can be challenging. To help with any initial questions you may have, please take a look at our FAQs.

We have updated the routes in order to increase accessibility to transport links across the city, and allow more locations in which the routes can be boarded from.

We understand that any changes or increases to prices can be frustrating, and whilst we appreciate this change isn’t always easy, we’ve kept our prices as low as possible. Having reviewed all aspects of running routes from the 3 sites, due to increases in operational costs, maintenance costs and inflation we have had to increase fares on the Park and Ride service. By increasing the fare prices, we are able to continue to run the service at a higher quality and run it sustainably as a business.

If you have an existing pass with us, this will be valid until your pass expires. If current pass holders would like to renew to one of our pass options after your pass expires, we will be offering 10% off new pre-booked passes. Please contact our team for more details. Please be aware, that during this period of change as we take over operation of the service, our new passes are temporarily unavailable to purchase online. If you would like to purchase on of our new passes, please email parkandride@robertstravelgroup.co.uk with your name, email address, telephone number, pass length and site. Following this, once our passes are available, we will contact you directly with information on how and where to purchase.

Our multi-route travel options and tickets are only valid on one of the three Leicester Park & Ride Routes (Meynells Gorse, Enderby or Birstall).

Group tickets are valid for up to 5 people arriving in the same vehicle at a Park & Ride site. One ticket will be presented and all members of the group must travel together for this to be valid.

Due to recent financial subsidies being removed, we are no longer able to offer free travel to NHS/UHL employees. We understand this may cause some frustration and further questions. For this, we advise you to contact a representative from your organisation.

With a pre-booked pass you can make long term savings. For example, our 12 month pass reduces your daily ticket rate to just £1.95 per day. This is over a 50% saving as buying a day ticket each day would be £4.85 each time. This makes our pre-booked passes the perfect option for commuters or regular travellers to the city.

The service running time will remain the same and run Monday - Saturday from 7am - 7pm.
