I wonder which routes the ex-route 65 Versas usually work now? 693 is fairly regular on route 199, as is 690.

One of them seemed to be regular on the 394.

Oh, quite an easy route to track down. Thank you for letting me know.
High Peak have suspended many services due to a major incident being declared in Whaley Bridge, where a dam wall has started to collapse. The Buxton to Hazel Grove rail line is also closed.
High Peak are operating a revised, reduced 199 service which is going via both New Mills and Hayfield.

New Mills has now been closed, that's going to be fun.

Looks like they are running airport to high lane( windlehurst road), then Marple, glossop, Hayfield, chapel!
Can see the progress of the 199 on here:
https://bustimes.org/map#12/53.3601/-1.9909. Currently (at 1945), one 199 is heading north from Hayfield towards Glossop while another is heading through High Lane towards Disley.
EDIT: One bus has ran to Disley then turned around and headed back towards High Lane and Stockport. Another has headed towards Glossop and gone around the edge of the town towards Gamesley and Marple.
High peak have a fully skyline livered merc citaro BN12 EOX out today. There may be more to come as last week there was an unbranded silver citaro in use (this one has never been silver)
