Residents in Hinckley, Leicestershire, now have access to a full weekday and Saturday bus timetable connecting them to Coalville as of 10 March 2026. Centrebus has reactivated the complete schedule for the LC6 route after a period of limited service. This restoration means people living in rural areas can once again rely on the bus for travel to work, shops, and health appointments.
The bus route provides transport for several communities including Market Bosworth, Newbold Verdon, Barlestone, and Ibstock. According to Choose How You Move, the bus stops at Hinckley Crescent Bus Station and Coalville Memorial Square. This change is designed to stop residents from feeling isolated and to provide a consistent way to travel between the two towns.
This service originally began in August 2025 as part of a one-year trial funded by Leicestershire County Council. The council launched the project to improve travel options for villages that had seen fewer buses in recent years. By returning to the full timetable, the operator is providing the high level of service first planned for the pilot programme.
