From Monday 2 March to Sunday 8 March, between 8pm and 4am each night, Watchorn Island in Alfreton / Swanwick will be closed overnight for essential roadworks.
This means the comet (Derby‑bound only) will need to divert via Somercotes before rejoining its normal route at Swanwick.
This will only affect the 7:25pm and 8:20pm journeys from Chesterfield, New Beetwell Street towards Derby.
🚫 Bus stops we can’t serve (Derby‑bound)
- Watchorn
- Old Swanwick Colliery
- Sleetmore Lane
- Cross Keys
Customers should allow around 15 minutes extra for their journey during these works.
Our driving team will be doing everything they can to keep you moving while these major works take place.
Thanks for bearing with us — we’ll be straight back to the normal route as soon as Watchorn Island reopens
