Bit of a wait here now before anything else and we remain stuck with the 85 still, so we wait for the 1206 National Express Coventry service 85 to University Hospital (Hospital Interchange), arriving there at 1232 on Saturday.

I actually didn't know where Arena Shopping Park was to be fair!

In that case, from the Donnington Avenue stop on the opposite side of the road, let's board the 1724 National Express Coventry service 5A to Coventry (Pool Meadow Bus Station), arriving there at 1742 on Saturday.

Must be. I was driving route 54 this morning.
We'll stick with the First Leicester 54 and take advantage of the daily journey to Anstey. So we'll board the 2310 departure to Anstey, Ulverscroft Books arriving at 2340 on Saturday.

My most sincere apologies for this faux pas. I have been quite ill since Friday and my concentration is still not what it should be...... :oops:
Hope you're feeling a bit better...

Our only option seems to be to return in the mid-morning for the 0909 journey on Leicester Citybus (t/a First Leicester) service 74. We alight at Leicester (St Margaret's Bus Station) at 0935 on Sunday.
