Hulleys of Baslow [1] is a bus company based in Baslow, Derbyshire, England.
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] In late 2023, Hulleys of Baslow brought Sevenoaks operator Go-Coach, however the branding, fleet and routes remained separate.
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]
In October 2022, the firm took over operation of routes 48 and 49 from TM Travel. [4]
The company formerly operated the X57 Snake route.
