Travel Derbyshire

Who are we?

Travel Derbyshire is a collaborative initiative between Derbyshire County Council and the County’s bus operators working together to improve bus travel for passengers across Derbyshire.

This long standing partnership was formalised in March 2022 with an Enhanced Partnership Scheme and Plan .

This initiative is part of a broader programme relating to the nationwide programme of “Bus Back Better” National Bus Strategy for England and Derbyshire’s Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP) that includes major highway infrastructure projects, ticketing offers, service enhancements and the provision of Real-Time Information.
