The MEN article last week listed it as being withdrawn due to TFGM cuts.

TfGM have withdrawn their share of funding for the Mon-Sat evening service as there is an average usage of just 2 people per trip. It would therefore be up to DCC to decide if they want to pay for the whole thing or just a Glossop-Gamesley circular... I assume if they do keep it, then they would do the latter.

It is a pity that the 237 tender is administered separately as there is enough room to fit the 202 circular element within the 237 if one of the directions was retimed. That would allow for an efficiency saving and substantially reduce costs.
