Hop on to a hospital bus

Information detailing bus services to the three University Hospitals of Leicester has been produced in a new hospital bus guide leaflet.

The leaflet gives information on the nearest bus stops to the Leicester Royal Infirmary, Glenfield and the Leicester General Hospital; and which buses run through the hospital sites next to the main entrances, or stop close by.

Lesley Pendleton, Leicestershire County Council Cabinet Member for Highways and Transportation, said: “Travelling by bus to the hospital for non-emergency visits is a very cost effective and convenient way to travel. It also takes away the stress of waiting for a car parking space.

“Each of the three university hospitals are well-served by buses, and this is very important as parking can very often be limited.”

The hospital bus guide is available from Tourist Information Centres, Council Service Shops and libraries.

The hospital bus information can be downloaded at www.leics.gov.uk/transport_downloads  Alternatively, residents can call 0116 305 8777 or email passengertransport@leics.gov.uk to request a copy.
