B5470 Macclesfield Road, RainowDate: Monday 20th January 2025

** MAJOR DISRUPTION - PLEASE READ **

Road Closed: B5470 Macclesfield Road, Rainow
Date: from Monday 20th January 2025. 
Service 60

Due to a road collapse between Rainow and Kettleshulme, an emergency timetable is being introduced, with the majority of journeys on the route curtailed to operate between Macclesfield and Rainow only, and between Kettleshulme and Hayfield only.

There are a limited number of through journeys between Macclesfield and Hayfield, which are diverted between Whaley Bridge (Horwich End) and Macclesfield via the Cat & Fiddle and Long Hill, with increased journey times as a result.

All journeys will operate as service 60 - but the Stoneheads Estate in Whaley Bridge will continue to be served on a reduced basis. Please see the timetable for full details.

We will be reviewing the temporary timetable as the closure is expected to be for up to six months. 

The emergency timetable can be found HERE.

Services 143 & 143A: Matlock - Tansley - Crich - Alfreton - East Midlands Designer Outlet

UPDATE: As of 27th November, the 143 is now serving Church Street and Village Green in Tansley. We will keep you updated if anything changes. 

The 143 service is unable to serve Tansley Church Street & Village Green currently due to repeated issues with parking issues, particularly around the Community Hall, preventing buses getting through. 

We have reported the parking issues to Derbyshire County Council, but in the mean time, passengers should walk down to the A615 Nottingham Road and use the bus stops at The Tavern. 

We do apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
