They currently carry more than eight million passengers per year, experiencing a year on year passenger increase of around 10% in recent years. Operating 119 buses and employing up to 320 employees within Chesterfield, Stagecoach is one of the largest bus operators in the UK.[1]

As well as within Chesterfield and its boroughs, the company also run certain buses to Bolsover, Clay Cross, Alfreton, Matlock, Dronfield, Sheffield, and Eckington. They also operate a Pronto service between Chesterfield, Mansfield and Nottingham in partnership with Stagecoach in Mansfield and Trent Barton.
