Believe it is mostly commercial.
I think most of the 12e trips are tenders? So the evening and Sunday trips? Not sure what funding is used, the evening ones seem to be based around serving Fradley Park, and Sundays possibly with bsip money?

The 1 registration has appeared in bustimes.org now. Also listed as cancelled from the end of may is the 11, 125 and 129.
How very odd, seeing as their contract for the 129 just got extended last month (how long for, though?):

The service has been awarded a contract extension.

What I assume is the last round of the Leicestershire retendering. I would assume the extension was merely to get it to 1st June when the new service network would come in.
