Arriva matchday bus services on five routes will be in operation again for the new season, and for the pre-season fixture against Cardiff Blues at Welford Road on Friday, August 29. The minibus service from Coalville will also continue in the new season.

Services on the T1, T2, T3, T4 and T6 buses are scheduled to drop off at Welford Road 30 minutes ahead of kick-off and depart 30 minutes after the final whistle. All timetables are adjusted for changes to fit kick-off times and the services operate on all matchdays. Timetables are published on the club website and social media in the week ahead of each fixture.
 
Return fares on all services, wherever you join or drop-off, are £6 adults, £5 juniors and concessions.
 
Pre-book at the Arriva Travel Shop at St Margaret's Bus Station by phoning 0116 242 3670 or email [email protected], or turn up and pay on the day.
 
All Arriva services for the opening game of the season, against Newcastle Falcons on Saturday, September 6, have been brought forward 30 minutes to allow supporters to visit the activities at Tigers In The Park ahead of kick-off.
 
Please note that places on the T5 mini-bus service from Coalville can be booked only at the Tigers ticket office.
