747 Uppingham–Leicester

The 747 is a bus service which operates between Uppingham and Leicester, largely following the A47 road.
History
The bus formerly ran between Leicester and Peterborough, operated by Midland Fox. The Uppingham-Peterborough section was withdrawn and replaced by the less frequent R47 service.
In January 2017, Centrebus announced that the route was no longer commercially viable. However, the route continued operating after a £60,000 subsidy from two local councils that covered the cost of the route until January 2018. The route has continued to be subsidised by Rutland County Council and Leicestershire County Council.
