Return stops

Some return stops are across the road or a short walk from where you got on: Duffield (Milford Road), Belper (outside the Bus Garage), Matlock (Bakewell Road, Stand 6) and Bakewell (Matlock Street, Stand E).

Main stops shown

These are the main stops. The X6 also stops at every bus stop on the way, including Darley Abbey, Whatstandwell, Cromford and Edensor. See the route.

How to pay

Pay the driver on board by contactless or cash. No need to book the bus.

Passes

A quick note on passes: the X6 is a special seasonal service, so we're not able to take concessionary bus passes or Wayfarer, b-line and Spectrum tickets on board. Everyone pays the same simple fare to the driver.

Running days

When the X6 runs

Every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday while the Christmas market is open. No bus on Sundays or Mondays.
