The 4 and 7 were as I expected

The 10 changes were mentioned, however I found the more frequently mentioned Leicester extension more probable - it's not the first time they've been secretive with that service though, the management outright called me a liar when I mentioned it to all the drivers about the previous Fosse Park service, even though it was on the VOSA website.

The 48 changes are to a few Leicester and Hinckley journeys, now running shorter routes. the 20:40 from Hinckley to Coventry will most probably be as a result of the 41 changes, as currently (85 duty), you do a 41 to Birchley Heath then run back dead before having a break and then moving on to a 48 to Hinckley, then doing the 20:40 to Coventry and back to Nuneaton before finishing. Still nothing on George Eliot, so that means more misery on the 56 for now until they finally get around to doing it.

The 41 change wasn't quite what I was expecting though, and nobody had even mentioned that service changing, I was expecting it to be the Nursery Hill School - Hartshill run (which then takes up the 731 which was listed as having changes made to it).
