It is Good Friday today, the start of the Easter holiday.
In the past, I have posted a blog on every day of a holiday and I intend to do so with this one.
So, starting with today, Good Friday, look out for blogs on Easter Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.
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.
‘Kinchbus’, based in Loughborough, has a history dating back to 1987 when the company was founded by Gilbert Kinch.
These days, it is part of the ‘Wellglade’ group which Is also ‘home’ to ‘trentbarton’, ‘Notts & Derby’ and ‘TM Travel’.
All the four companies’ buses’ fleet numbers are numbered within the same series.
Effectively, the fleet numbers are part of a ‘Wellglade’ fleetlist.
