Christmas 2019 bus times: timetables in Derbyshire over Christmas and the New Year

Bus services can be under even more pressure, as people make short trips in the days following Christmas to make the most of the Boxing Day sales.

But bus drivers and staff need their Christmas holidays too, and often timetables are amended to reflect a shorter number of staff behind the wheel.

That can have an affect on your travel plans. But fear not, we've brought together the key Christmas information from all of the major players in Derbyshire area, to help you plan your festive travel itinerary as effectively as possible.
