We have plenty of copies of the leaflet and the High Peak guide. I'd be more than happy to post some copies to you FBB? <br /><br />Thanks for your kind words about the design though, it's much appreciated!

Must do better. fatbusblokehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06833340546527596517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432323264902617108.post-65572446628084085492017-03-23T09:23:08.793+00:002017-03-23T09:23:08.793+00:00The loss of the 66 is not related to the change to...The loss of the 66 is not related to the change to the 65, the service used to be largely commercial & tied in with a contract to University of Derby Buxton Campus which was lost in September which I assume meant TM couldn't keep running commercially. Derbyshire County Council retendered the route recently at which point High Peak decided they could provide two return journeys commercially with the rest being retendered which TM Travel won (High Peak also bid for this work but weren't successful), however as the two companies have an existing business relationship (through the shareholdings of Wellglade for instance) we were able to agree joint ticketing on this service. There was no deal between the two operators until after the tender was awarded.<br /><br />Due to the delays of the tendering process & then agreeing the details of the interworking we only had about 2 weeks to get the timetables done (to put the timings in context even services that didn't need to have their tender revised weren't officially awarded until about a month before commencement, when council tenders are involved getting the 56-day notice is very rare), they are currently out at print at the moment and due to be delivered imminently (TM will be handling the distribution at the Sheffield end with High Peak looking after the Buxton end) though we suspect we won't get them out before Monday it should be pretty soon afterwards. The guy who designed that particular leaflet was very pleased with your positive words, there was even a little dance (though that is not a strange as it sounds from him).<br /><br />Just a point on the history of High Peak, it was a merger of TrentBarton's Dove Holes depot with the Centrebus owned Bowers Coaches operation at Chapel-en-le-Frith on a 50-50 basis. The two businesses weren't competing, Trent handled the core commercial network of the area with Bowers running mostly tendered and more marginal work around it. The Transpeak no longer runs to Nottingham, it has operated between Derby, Buxton & Manchester for a number of years since just after the merger.dwarfer1979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432323264902617108.post-16105186346730696302017-03-23T09:11:03.898+00:002017-03-23T09:11:03.898+00:00Quote: Transpeak runs all the way from Nottingham ...Quote: Transpeak runs all the way from Nottingham to Manchester.<br /><br />Sorry 'Transpeak' hasn't reached Nottingham for donkeys years. It is not possible to travel beyond Derby, Ripley, Alfreton or Chesterfield on a through bus from Nottingham.Mitch in Nottsnoreply@blogger.com
