Route 159 is a bus route in England that operates between Coalville and Hinckley. It is operated by Roberts Coaches.
The route operates approximately every 1.5 hours from Monday to Saturday.[1]
In November 2018, Roberts Coaches stated that the route was no longer commercially viable and that it would be withdrawn.[2] However, in December the local council agreed to continue funding the route.[3]
In December 2022, it was announced that the route would be withdrawn after 25 February 2023. The local council stated that at a cost of £162,000 per year it could not afford to continue subsidising the route. It stated that demand-responsive transport would be implemented for those who would no longer have a local bus route.[4][5][6]
