‘Use the Bus’ aims to encourage people to use our local bus services to Sheffield, Bakewell and Buxton. Fewer journeys by car will reduce carbon emissions and help tackle climate change in Hope Valley.
Stress-free enjoyable travel
Use the Bus is supported by bus companies and local councils. With their help we will be asking you to please Use the Bus whenever you can to –
- relax with family and friends
- go shopping in Bakewell or Buxton, or enjoy an evening out in Sheffield
- avoid the hassle and cost of car parking
- commute to and from work, even once or twice a week
- meet old and make new friends while travelling
- reduce carbon emissions and help tackle climate change.
Use the Bus Fortnight 11-24 April
To find your local bus service go to https://www.derbysbus.info and follow the links to bus timetables or phone 01709 515151.
There will be widespread publicity nearer the time in village magazines and through social media.
A Hope Valley Climate Action initiative supported by Hulleys of Baslow, First South Yorkshire, Stagecoach East Midlands, DCC, HPBC, DDDC, PDNPA, SCC and SYPTE.

One Response
I have only lived in Great Longstone for 3 months, finding my way about and use the 173 bus at least once a week to Bakewell. I no longer drive due to head & body injuries so am reliant on the service to get to shops, Drs, Dentist etc. I have not seen anything about this nor a leaflet. I have tried looking online for buses to Buxton or Matlock but it became too intensive, scrutinising small print on a phone screen, being affected by light.
Do you have any printed timetables please?
