Moorlands Connect
There have been further updates to the Moorlands Connect Demand Responsive service, including the start of Sunday and Bank Holiday journeys between April and September with effect from 2nd April 2022, and the launch of the Moorlands Connect booking app.
How to use - Moorland Connect
This is still a great way to get out and about, travel to work, school or college, or see friends and relatives in other villages without using your car.
The service is available for anyone who lives, works or visits in the area. There is no age restriction. We can accommodate people with wheelchairs, pushchairs or bicycles.
You can catch the bus from any bus stop to your destination or as close as possible, however you must book ahead. The service can be booked from a home address (where safe) if you are unable to access a bus stop.
The service's operating area has been expanded to incorporate passengers travelling from Oakamoor, Alton, Ipstones, Foxt and Whiston.
For more information, please see the area map:
