A new bus service is set to launch, connecting Buxton and Castleton with a scenic route through Dove Holes, Chapel-en-le-Frith, Edale, and Hope. Starting from Sunday, June 30th, the new 62 service will enhance transportation options for both locals and tourists.

The 62 bus service will offer several daily departures. From Buxton to Castleton, buses will leave at 8:25 AM, 12:20 PM, and 3:45 PM. For those traveling from Edale to Castleton, the bus will depart at 10:00 AM, 1:40 PM, and 5:10 PM.

High Peak Buses, the service provider, emphasized the convenience and accessibility of this new route. It aims to serve both daily commuters and tourists exploring the picturesque Peak District. The introduction of this route reflects an effort to improve public transportation options in the area.

The new 62 service is expected to be popular among hikers and nature enthusiasts, as it passes through some of the most beautiful landscapes in the region. The route through Edale and Hope, in particular, offers breathtaking views and easy access to walking trails.

This initiative not only benefits the local communities but also supports sustainable travel by providing an alternative to car journeys. By connecting key locations in the Peak District, the 62 bus service encourages more people to use public transportation, reducing traffic congestion and environmental impact.
