Could they change from Hinckley Bus back to Arriva when they had it from 1996-2008

What will happen to routes in which Hinckley do

[stuartn]

Lee, I think 1910 might have been withdrawn when the December service changes came into effect.

[leepenfold30]

Arriva 158 Leicester via Hinckley having route change on Sunday May 25th can anyone confirm it

[williamposh]

I think it is only coming out of the bus station in Hinckley

[stuartn]

Lee, the work on the new bus station starts shortly so they are moving out the remaining routes to other stops.
Do Hinckley Bus have anything left running from the bus station?

I heard the 158 might be going onto Regent Street somewhere.

[leepenfold30]

148 58 86 & 5 left bus station December 2013

158 would have to go to regent street because new bus station going to be built it won't be ready till Autumn 2015 also where's 48 going to move to which Stagecoach use Hinckley Bus Station

From what I have read on the competition and markets authority section of the gov.uk website a decision for phase 1 is due this coming Monday (5th May) but as it's a bank holiday it could be delayed until Tuesday.
