Just over 10 miles north of Leicester, Loughborough is an interesting town from a transport point of view being on the Midland Main Line and the Grand Union Canal.
In addition, there is a frequent and varied range of bus connections supplied on the day I was there by five different operators.
‘Centrebus’, founded in 2001, are headquartered in Leicester but operate across widely across the midland counties.
A revised livery has recently been introduced.This introduces more blue and reduces the amount of white.The main colour still being orange.
Both liveries appear in this blog.
