Mon-Sat evening journeys will be axed (not sure if this includes Sunday service as that is a different contract not yet up for renewal), the 'Tame Valley link' which is basically a dial a ride style service will be re-routed to serve Charlsworth, Broadbottom and Gamesley with additional stops in Glossop. This service is available to anyone who is registered to use the services but it's with pointing out that it's an infrequent service and is only available to passengers who have booked and are registered to use it. It will be completly funded by DCC.

394 update:
Like the 202 DCC is keen to keep some kind of link between Glossop and Stepping Hill so thier looking to reduce the frequency of the subsidised Saturday service which would then cost less to run, then using the money that's saved to subsidise an infrequent service during the week. It's currently out to tender so will be interesting to see who gets it, I personally hope it's not high peak.

Amazing coincidence isn't it that high peak get the 341 tender, then realise the 394 is no longer viable....
