Coach station seems a slightly pretentious name for this modest facility on the site of the old bus station; certainly the two vehicles seen here are on ordinary stage carriage services. The double decker is a Stagecoach Gold branded bus on the X17 Sheffield - Matlock route; the other vehicle belongs to Hulleys of Baslow and is also on a Matlock service albeit via a different route. Hulleys is a long-established Peak District operator that traces its origins back to 1921; despite all the turmoil in the bus industry it has survived although it is no longer owned by the Hulley family.
