From Braunstone Frith, Tatlow Road - It will operate as normal via Ibbetson Avenue, Cranstone Crescent, Tournament Road, Tatlow Road and Liberty Road, but instead of turning left onto Sacheveral Road, it will continue down Liberty Road to Scudamore Road, turn left onto Scudamore Road and over the roundabout to Park Rise, continue on Park Rise to the shop where it will turn around and operate back down Park Rise, straight over the roundabout to Scudamore Road, right onto Liberty Road and right onto New Parks Boulevard, continue up New Parks Boulevard and re-join its normal line of route at Sacheveral Road/Frolesworth Road junction (Allexton Community Centre) in to City Centre.
From City Centre - It will operate its normal line of route to Fosse Road North, but instead of turning left onto Pool Road, it will continue to mini-roundabout and turn left onto Stephenson Drive, re-joining its normal line of route on Pindar Road. From Pindar Road, it will operate the normal line of route to Braunstone Frith Tatlow Road and then operate as per the above.
