Derbyshire bus operator Hulleys of Baslow will cease trading on Thursday, 27 March, after facing reliability issues and losing several council-funded routes.
Derbyshire County Council has secured replacement operators for key services, with Stagecoach Yorkshire taking over the 63 Chesterfield to Matlock route and Linburg Coach Travel running the 257 Sheffield to Bakewell service. The council had previously moved some routes to alternative providers to address performance concerns but could not prevent Hulleys’ closure.
Efforts are underway to maintain commercial routes, and local bus companies may offer employment opportunities to affected staff. Leonard Curtis is handling the company’s liquidation.
