Sheffield - Peak District

[Skarpur]

Hi,

On Saturday I'm planning on travelling from Sheffield to Edale on the train with a young persons railcard with the return journey being from Castleton (the village in the peak district not the station in the Manchester area). A number of years ago I did the same journey where (what I think was a standard)return ticket on the train allowed me to return from Castleton to Sheffield using the local bus. I've taken a look on the Travel South Yorkshire and Peak District websites and can't any further information on this. Does anyone know if the ticket arrangement still exists or what the alternatives are - I don't intend on any other journeys so I think a day ranger ticket is probably the more expensive option.

Thanks

If I read the attached correctly, it only applies with rail tickets to Hope, not Edale.

That is correct, thus splitting tickets at Hope may be appropriate (you would only need singles from Hope to Edale if I interpret your plans correctly).

Is this post correct then?

Sheffield to Castleton Return tickets issued on the Hope Valley train service and bus service 272 between Sheffield, Hathersage, Bamford and Hope or Castleton are valid for return by either bus 272 or train (train tickets to/from Hope are valid from/to Castleton on the 272 bus, and bus tickets to/from Castleton are valid from/to
Hope on the train).
Return tickets issued on bus services 272,273, 274 and 275 are valid for return on any of these buses.

According to the current timetable for the 272 on Derbyshire County Council's website, yes.

Thanks for the info guys - think I must have got a bit muddled up as to what station I must have got off at in the past!
