‘Scene’ in Loughborough 3 ‘Centrebus’ on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

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.
