\u00a0Oadby, Oh Dear!<\/span><\/p>\n It is now the Black Dog pub and painted in light and mid blue.<\/p>\n Oadby was changed beyond recognition with the opening up of Market Harborough Road as a super swish new A6, a 1930s scheme.<\/p>\n The aerial view is looking south and the church is upper right.<\/p><\/div>\n … and now Arriva. When fbb last visited, the main routes were 31 and 31A\u00a0 serving various housing areas and linking them to the town centre and on to Leicester.<\/p>\n The buses were branded as Sapphire …<\/p>\n The 31E is an evening and Sunday variant missing out large chunks of the estates and 31A is now used for an occasional oddity Monday to Friday.<\/p><\/div>\n The outbound 31 turns right off the A6 …<\/p>\n … and “waits time” at a stop called Sandringham Street.<\/p>\n We pass the inbound 31 stop just along the road …<\/p>\n … which is called East Street and where an eager anticipatory knot of passengers is waiting for the 31 to Leicester.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n It turns left and heads back towards Leicester …<\/p>\n … but not for long.<\/p><\/div>\n … to begin its one-way-round-only circumnavigation of the Oadby estates. Should you choose to join the 31 on Uplands Road for a journey TO Leicestet …<\/p>\n … you will have a 25 minute tour of Oadby housing schemes until you start back to the city centre.<\/p><\/div>\n
