At the time I queried it wasn't valid. I would have used it instead of getting a train to Glossop and then waiting there for the next bus on the only time I got the chance to get the bus and travel to Sheffield for the day.
I did then request an update on this when I emailed Hulley's on 23 Aug 2021 - along with a request for pricing between the Airport and Macclesfield on their cancelled X1 - but go no reply for either.

It is still poor that they gave different information out at different times. I suddenly don't feel disappointed to have missed out on riding it.
Nothing tracking as operating the Breezer for a while but there was a 09 reg Enviro 400 running it today.
Derbyshire CC have put the following routes out for retendering due to performance issues with Hulleys: 55, 63, 63A, 110, 111, 170, 171, 173, 257. Emergency contracts could start as soon as 7 April.
From Derbyshire CC:
We put the services out to tender following poor performance by the previous operator. The operator, Hulleys of Baslow, announced this week that they were to cease trading with effect from Thursday 27 March.
The new operators are:
The 110 and 111 – to be run by Ashbourne Community Transport.
172,173,178 – to be run by Andrew’s of Tideswell.
63 – to be run by Stagecoach Yorkshire.
257 – to be run by Linburg Coach Travel.
All 4 services will start on Thursday 28 March, and the timetables will remain the same.
Hulleys also ran a number of commercial services. We don’t have a formal role in finding new operators for these services as they are privately operated and run and have to be registered with the Traffic Commissioner. We will support residents in finding alternative travel options in the meantime, but hope these services can be picked up soon by new operators.

I wonder if TM travel may get some commercial work as well as high peak
High Peak have today announced they will not run the 170 after they discovered Stagecoach have been allowed to make a short notice registration for the 170 as well.
Also the 257 will now be run by Andrew’s of Tideswell rather than Linburg Coach Travel. Apparently Andrews have taken most of the Hulley's fleet, but will offload the least reliable vehicles in due course.
Couldn't see anything tracking on the old Hulleys routes earlier today, not even the replacement Stagecoach services. I get some of the small operators might not have live tracking.
