Rural Rider Bus from Hallaton

Hallaton is a hub for the Rural Rider bus which serves East Leicestershire. This means that we are much better served than many of our neighbouring villages - but it's difficult to say that we have a frequent service!

There are one or two services each day and they do go to a variety of places. This means that it can take a little while to make sense of all the many and varied routes, but it is worth the effort.

There are two regular drivers and they both clearly take great pride in the service they provide. You will soon be on first name terms!
