You can also travel outside the county to various places including Sheffield city centre*, Macclesfield, Leek, Uttoxeter and Burton on Trent town centres.

You're free to explore the County without worrying about which bus operator runs the service.

How to buy your Derbyshire Wayfarer

You can buy your ticket in advance at most bus travel offices and tourist information centres in the area covered by the ticket. To validate your ticket, just rub off the right date (with the edge of a coin) before starting your trip. Alternatively, buy your ticket at a main line railway station or on your first bus of the day when you are travelling. Many bus companies issue Derbyshire Wayfarer tickets on the bus.

Or you can buy by post or telephone.
