They can't replace the 82 and 83, they've been running to Bolsover for as long as I can remember  :'( :'(

In number only 1 & 1A . I agree wholeheartedly - why change the numbers? When I started there was the 81, 82,83, 84 & 85. I suspect someone in another county (south Yorkshire) has construed this. At a time when people are already confused from previous changes. I can't wait for a passenger to get on at Stephensons Place expecting to go to Newbold!

If I read your post correctly does this mean that the 54 ceases to go to junction 28 outlet? if true it is it's not before time, I thought it was a stupid idea in the first place. Why they didn't just let the 56 do the outlet I don't know.

Also this X1 seems to be in direct competition to Comet who do a run straight through to Derby {via Alfreton}.

I wonder if Stagecoach would look kindly on me if I started mucking their Barnsley routes about?

I have huge concerns about the lengthened times through our village.
Care agency staff who rely on public transport to move around will struggle to meet calls in some cases.
Wheelchair users may well struggle to get to appointments if there is another user taking up the one space on the bus.

Not the bus companies problem I know but recent development approval gave an unrealistic time for getting from Tupton to Calow hospital and once the buses have changed their time table this is even more unrealistic.

The problems on the A61 are not going to be sorted in our near future that was made very clear from the meeting I attended in Wingerworth earlier this week again this will impact on the lengthened bus service time table.

It must be a nightmare for drivers on some days around Derbyshire.

Scimitar can I ask you a couple of questions please.

1 The wheelchair/scooter permit I do know of it but daughter was asked if she had one last week ( ( always thought they were for larger scooters as my friend has to book her space ) Daughter rang stage coach and asked about this and the person she spoke to knew nothing about it?

2 Would there be a possibility that two spaces for wheelchairs be made on buses to accommodate both wheelchair/pushchairs.

We went up to the bus stop this morning {54} as I had an appointment in town at 10:40 and not really knowing the bus times we got to the bus stop at 10:05. the electronic bus timer said next bus in 9 minutes.
We were joined by about 8 or nine others and then we were joined by 3 blokes who had been stood across the road, one was carrying a tablet, he and another both had satchels, at first I thought them Jehovah's witnesses, but then the third guy asked us if the electronic sign had ever stopped working/malfunctioned any particular time, I said "You pick a day and time you won't be far out". One of the other passengers asked if they were connected to Stagecoach, they said "In a sort of way" it appears they may have had something to do with checking bus schedules, he then proceeded to give them his opinion on the service asking me a couple of times to clarify what he was saying, I couldn't disagree he had it spot on. 
I pointed out to him {the 3rd guy} that we had been stood there well over 5 minutes and the board STILL said next bus 9 minutes, as the bus came over the hill to the stop before us the board said 2 minutes as it left the stop it changed to due.

Yes, we can carry wheelchairs, disabled buggies and approved mobility scooters on suitable low floor buses.

While we try to run low floor buses on all advertised journeys, we reserve the right to substitute a non-low floor bus if a low floor bus is unavailable.

Detailed guidance about accessing our services with a wheelchair, disabled buggy or approved mobility scooter is available by telephone from your local Stagecoach company's Disability Helpline.

Read our full Conditions of carriage.

All I can do is refer you to our website at Stagecoachbus.com & see conditions of carriage. I don't envisage any future plans whilst cutting services as well as removing passenger seats to enable more room for more than one approved mobility scooter. Fewer people using buses (apparently) as well as bus companies struggling to survive.
