Kids Encyclopedia Facts

First Leicester is the name used by Leicester Citybus Ltd., a bus company. It is part of a larger group called the First Group. This company runs buses in the city of Leicester, which is in England.

Where First Leicester's Buses Live

A bus company needs a special place to keep and fix its buses. This place is called a depot or a bus garage.

In 2007, First Leicester opened a new depot on Abbey Lane. This new building replaced an older one on Abbey Park Road. The old site was used for many years, going back to when the city itself ran the buses. Now, the old bus garage is empty and will be turned into new homes.
