In July 2026 we reached a unique milestone!

Full network integration through partnership working with all operators.

This gives Leicester the same joined up network as in Manchester and London. However, this has been done by collaboration rather than expensive franchising.

What does One Network Integration mean?

One joint timetable to areas with several routes

One network frequency standard

One agreed set of timetable change dates and route numbers

One simplified discounted fare range with no extra interchange cost

One ticketing system with ‘best fare’ day and weekly capping

One network brand across all stops, stations and buses

One network marketing plan

One network information system

By end 2027 this will extend to:

One electric bus standard

One electric bus stop standard

One bus lane enforcement standard

One bus signal priority standard
