Awesome!! Quite like the 50 - always thought it was fairly interesting. And it's weird for me to see Narborough Road so quiet because the only time I've been up it was in the car at rush hour... 😂
@@leicestertravels4705 Am not up to date with the changes on the 51 to be honest. I know there was a variation that diverted via Rowley Fields (replacing the 52/62 Fox Cub route). But it also did the turn around to BXRs via Meadwell Road and Hinckley Road. That was after BXRs became a junction with traffic lights. Used the 153 (previously 123) a lot as I used to attend Bosworth College.
Personally I thought Thurmaston was weirder. At first I found it weird that the 104’s still based there but of course, it used to go past it before it was split and that end became the 5 in November 2003. The 158’s a weird one to be there now since as of last year, Hinckley’s the outstation for Wigston now.

Thanks, and true. I used to go there all the time back in 2004 and 2005.
Next you'll have to do the 51, my old route before I left the UK. :)
I would but since it doesn’t serve Rowley Fields anymore, it only differs from the 50 by two roads and the 104 and 153 already cover them.

They cut out Rowley Fields from the route due to low numbers in April 2017. It’s actually based at Wigston now as it interworks with this route.
