Disruptions to bus and train services

Information about disruption to public transport.


Train service disruption

Up-to-date information about disruption to train services is available from National Rail, which also has real-time departure information for all stations in Derbyshire.

East Midlands Railway, Cross Country Trains and Northern Railway also offer current information about problems with their services.

Bus service disruption

For details of disruption to bus services, please visit Traveline where summaries of disruption due to road closures or other emergencies are available.

The Traveline journey planner will also show details of changes to services resulting from road closures or diversions.

Most bus companies provide details of disruption to their services on their own websites, and some (including Arriva Midlands, Hulleys, TM Travel and Trentbarton) will also offer up-to-date information on Facebook during adverse weather.

During periods of disruption due to bad weather BBC Derby has information about travel difficulties.
