Thunzi   10 #1 Posted April 10, 2008 Hi  I'm going to a service at Hutcliffe Wood Crematorium. Can anyone please tell me what number Bus I'll need to catch to get there and approximate location of bus stop in town? I've found a map of where it is online but don't know the area well enough to know what bus to get. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Plain Talker   11 #2 Posted April 10, 2008 the 293 to dronfield/ chesterfield go near, it on the bottom road from abbeydale road, turning up Archer Road then Hutcliffe Wood Road. it leaves arundel gate at 0'clock and half past.  no matter which side you go from (abbey lane, -one of the 70's, either the 75 or 76 goes on that one) you'll have a bit of a hike, Gaz.  ask traveline 01709 515151 that'd be your best bet.

rubydazzler   11 #4 Posted April 10, 2008 GazE, if you take the car, you need to go in through the bottom gates, off Archer Road, off Fraser Road and onto Periwood Lane. The long drive takes you straight up the the car park for the Crem. If you go either of the other ways, Abbey Lane or Hutcliffe Wood Road, you'll have a long way to walk from the designated parking areas at those gates.  http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=433827&y=383118&z=1&sv=433827,383118&st=4&ar=Y&mapp=newmap.srf&searchp=newsearch.srf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
S8 Blade   10 #5 Posted April 10, 2008 293 leaves less walking, although buses aren't as often - once every hour I believe?  76 will take you along Abbey Lane and you walk up through the cemetery (it's signposted to the crem for cars and walkers) - 76s run about every 10mins, from town they stop outside the markets (says Lowedges on the front), on High Street outside NatWest, outside Peace Gardens, back of Debenhams (although more like outside the old DSS place or whatever it is) and also bottom of the Moor (second stop from the top of the hill).... can you tell I used to catch that one home?

(via birmiongham, i think, judging by the length of the journey!!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Andy C   85 #8 Posted April 11, 2008 Download the 293 timetable here http://www.derbysbus.info/times/timetables/293M_080127.pdf  It's operated by TM Travel, drops you off on Hutcliffe Wood Road by the gates and the return fare is £2.70.  In town the bus picks up on Flat Street, Arundel Gate, Charter Row and Moorfoot.
