It is now over six months since Stagecoach in Yorkshire launched the revamped and upgraded X17 service between Barnsley and Matlock. Jim McWilliam took a ride to see how the route is faring
On a slightly grey Yorkshire morning, I arrive at the bright, modern and busy Barnsley Interchange to catch a Stagecoach Gold-branded X17 to Chesterfield. The Interchange itself is surprisingly busy, with a constant flow of mainly Stagecoach vehicles in standard fleet livery coming and going. I’m a little early, so have time to sample the food on offer in the small and friendly Citizen Coffee, as well as pick up a few snacks for the journey at the well-stocked convenience store.
