About
Derbyshire County Council awarded a contract to High Peak Buses for the provision of a replacement bus service on route 185 between Burlow and the Fairfield Estate via Buxton and Harpur Hill, following the operator's withdrawal of the commercial service effective 11 December 2022.
The withdrawal impacted over 21,272 passenger journeys per year, with High Peak Buses citing commercial viability, driver shortages, and retention issues as reasons.
The contract, valued at AUD 45,802.5, aims to maintain the travel link for communities, particularly the Fairfield Estate, an area of deprivation that would otherwise be left without bus service and access to local amenities such as shops and healthcare.
