Electric Portal Sign Up Information

Leicester Park & Ride is running as normal – and we're putting on extra services into the city on Boxing Day and Monday 28 December.

Our usual services are running from 7am-7pm, Monday to Saturday, from our sites at Meynell's Gorse, Enderby and Birstall.

And on Boxing Day and Monday 28 December, we will be running buses from 10am-4pm to get you into the city centre.

Day and group tickets are just ?3, and NHS staff and concessions travel for free.

More information, as well as fares and timetables, is available on the Park & Ride website.

We'd like to reassure passengers that there are lots of measures in place at all three sites and on the buses to ensure your safety.

At the terminals and around the car parks, there are signs encouraging social distancing and good hand hygiene. The terminal buildings, including the toilets and baby-changing facilities, are regularly cleaned and checked throughout the day.

To make social distancing easier, capacity on the buses is limited to 12 passengers per single decker, which can be increased to 15 if you live in the same household. You will be asked to board the bus from the back to the front, and there are stickers on the seats to show where to sit to maintain social distancing.

Contactless payment is available onboard and is the preferred option.

Whether you decide to travel with us or not during the festive season, we wish you a very merry Christmas, and a safe, healthy and happy 2021!

The Park & Ride site at Birstall has reopened to passengers, with bus services running from 7am to 7pm, Monday to Saturday.

No buses have run from the site since it was closed on 27 March due to a fall in demand following the introduction of national lockdown restrictions. Park & Ride services resumed at the Meynell's Gorse and Enderby sites on 1 June to coincide with the reopening of city centre shops and the lifting of restrictions on office working.

Services remained suspended at Birstall as the site is being used as a Covid testing facility, and this will continue alongside the reopening of the Birstall site for Park & Ride services.

Passengers are being assured that strictly enforced one-way systems will be in place at the Birstall site and they will not come into contact with people arriving for Covid tests. Signage has been installed to ensure that Park & Ride passengers and those visiting for Covid testing are directed to the relevant area of the site, and there are also marshals on site to ensure separation is maintained.

A range of measures has been put in place across the three Park & Ride sites to ensure the safety of customers and staff using the service. Risk assessments have been completed for the buses by Roberts Travel Group and Leicester City Council has risk assessed the terminal buildings.

At the terminals and around the car parks, there is signage encouraging people to socially distance and practice good hand hygiene. The terminal buildings, including the toilets and baby-changing facilities, are regularly cleaned and checked throughout the day.

In order to comply with social distancing requirements, capacity on the buses is limited to 12 passengers per single decker, which can be increased to 15 if passengers live in the same household. Passengers are asked to board the bus from the back to the front to ensure that social distancing can be observed. Stickers on the bus show the availability of seats.

Contactless payment is available onboard and is the preferred option. There is a flat rate of ?3 for a day or group ticket, and the service is free to NHS staff, social care workers and concessions. More information is available on the Park & Ride website. 

Leicester's Park and Ride service is to close from 7pm tonight (Friday 27 March) until further notice.

The Birstall, Enderby and Meynell's Gorse services, which are jointly run by Leicester City Council and Leicestershire County Council, will cease operation as part of the movement restrictions aimed at stopping the spread of coronavirus.

The number of people using the service to travel into the city has reduced since the prime minister's recent announcements and the decision by NCP and the city council to make all off-street parking across the city free to all users.

Earlier this week the number of cars using the service to travel to the city had reduced to less than 100 compared with an average day, which sees more than 900 cars parking across the three sites.

Leicestershire County Council leader Nick Rushton said: "This is a challenging situation, we're doing everything we can as a council and it remains vital that residents follow Government advice as it is clarified. We all need to play our part to stop the spread of coronavirus and save lives."

 We will continue to closely monitor the situation and will make sure our approach reflects the latest Government guidelines. Keep up to date by visiting the government's coronavirus information page and the Leicester Park & Ride website.
