 Service 113: Ashbourne - Belper - minor retiming to improve reliability

 Service 199: Buxton – Stockport – Manchester Airport - changes to times in the evenings

Nikos Ntalampiras, Operations Manager at High Peak said, “I would encourage everyone to leave the car at home and travel with High Peak Buses car free – carefree.

"We monitor our local bus services at regular intervals and recent monitoring has highlighted the need to make changes to services 62, 113 and 442 to ensure we continue to provide regular, reliable and a robust network of local bus services which our customers expect and deserve.”

Nikos added: “We’re also making a few changes to the evening journeys operating on Skyline 199 to ensure the service continues to offer a reliable service to our customers.”

“Why not try Transpeak - linking Buxton with Bakewell, Matlock, Matlock Bath, Belper and Derby – seven days a week and help free up our very busy local roads. we have a great range of day, week, and four-week saver tickets along with the capped £3 single fare make travelling with High Peak a viable alternative to using the car!”

There will also be changes to fares in the new year.

From January 1 High Peak Buses is increasing the price of single and return fares across their network. The £3 fare cap scheme means that no single fare will cost more than £3.

Prices of day, weekly and four-weekly tickets remain unchanged.
