Leading bus operator Arriva has launched a new and improved service linking Coventry and Leicester with quick and affordable connections.

The X6 ‘Foxlink’ service benefits from a refreshed fleet, with timetables designed around customers’ actual needs, enabling them to choose public transport over taking the car.

To celebrate the launch, Arriva brought one of the refreshed coaches to Coventry city centre, along with a 7-foot-tall interactive map showcasing the range of places that people can visit in both Coventry and Leicester.

The six X6 vehicles are all Temsa Safari coaches, all of which are PSVAR compliant. Three coaches were already in use on the X6 route, while the remaining three transferred to Leicestershire this summer ready to facilitate increased resources on this service. The vehicles have all been refreshed by Arriva Midlands’ central works at Derby, including painting into their new livery.
