This next re-upload, as you know now is my absolute favourite route when they haven't silly Optare Solos and Streetlites on it.
This is the X84 which runs from Leicester St. Margaret's Bus Station all the way out to Rugby Clifton Road via Leicester Royal Infirmary, West End, Rowley Fields, Braunstone, Fosse Park, Enderby, Narborough, Huncote, Croft, Broughton Astley, Frolesworth, Leire, Ashby Parva, Bitteswell, Lutterworth, Magna Park, A5, M6 Junction 1, Brownsover and Elliotts Field Retail Park. An insane run out to Warwickshire, but Leicester Zone 2 and ZonePlus savers are still valid.
It's based at Wigston depot as Hinckley's now an outstation and runs every hour, despite taking a completely different, combining 30 minutes with the 84 between Leicester and Lutterworth. Double-decker workings are usually Geminis, B7TL or B9TL. The other popular working is Optare Solos although a Streetlite and the Cadet can also appear and more recently, E200 MMCs have been appearing.
It was only introduced in April 2017 to replace the 50A to Croft and the X44, which went to Rugby but served Littlethorpe and Cosby instead of Huncote and Croft, and went straight there from Lutterworth, but some journeys only went as far as there, and it also bypassed the city stops via Southgates Underpass, which would have been cool to include. When I was doing the visuals, a double-decker was possible on the X55, but only the early morning run from Hinckley and the last run from Leicester.
Anyway, this route turned out better than the 127 because it has a brilliant mixture of country roads and dual-carriageways. It's just a pity that the Lowlanders never got to have a go on it.
Also, I forgot to point out in the intro card that the bus I got was originally registered FJ56 OBN. It was quite slow throughout most of Leicestershire, but then once in Warwickshire the driver decided to put his foot down.
