When I first visited Leicester, I was bemused to discover that "Leicester, Haymarket" in bus timetables did not mean Haymarket bus station. It does in fact mean this thoroughfare, which is the terminus for several routes heading east and south east out of Leicester city centre, including Arriva Midlands' route 51 to Braunstone via Narborough Road and Braunstone Lane. This Dennis Dart SLF/East Lancs Spryte originated with Nottingham City Transport, where it was part of the training fleet for a while before it was sold; I would be interested to know how it got here if anyone knows.
