A last-minute decision by Derbyshire County Council has enabled High Peak Buses to continue the full length of its TransPeak service, meaning services will still run regularly between Matlock and Derby (Buses August). Subsidies have been provided for up to six months 'to give the route time to recover and improve passenger numbers', enabling the timetable to continue without change. Explaining the decision, Derbyshire's cabinet member for highways, assets and transport, Councillor Kewal Singh Athwal, said: "Nationally bus use levels remain down on pre-pandemic levels and Derbyshire is no exception. The Transpeak route is an important one, connecting Derby and Buxton and without it several communities would be left with a much-reduced service." |
