History
Optare Solo in Claycross in September 2007

The origins of Hulleys can be traced back to 1914 when Henry Hulley purchased a Ford Model T taxi. In 1921 a bus was purchased to operate a service from Bakewell to Chesterfield. In 1925 a service from Bakewell to Youlgreave commenced. By 1934 further growth had seen the fleet expand to seven buses with excursions operated to York, Skegness, Southport and Blackpool. In the 1970s the business was sold to JH Woolliscroft & Sons.[2]

Services

As at March 2020 Hulleys operate a wide network of services, centred around linking Peak District towns and villages with Sheffield, Chesterfield and Manchester, as well as networks serving Ashbourne, Bakewell and Matlock and their surrounding areas. From 29 March 2020 Hulleys will operate a new summer weekend service linking Sheffield, Chesterfield and Bakewell to such attractions as Alton Towers and Carsington Water.[3]

Fleet

As at October 2020 the fleet consisted of 23 modern buses.[4]
