Lesley Pendleton, Cabinet Lead Member for Transportation at Leicestershire County Council said: “Leicestershire has many great places to visit over the summer. One of the best ways to travel is by bus. The regular services to attractions such as Snibston and Twycross Zoo offer hassle free, environmentally friendly journeys.

“Through the Attractions by Bus summer promotion, residents can get discount vouchers, enter competitions and find loads of activities on the website for children to do during the summer holidays.”
