Hop on the bus and travel across the Peak District in this miniseries of audio adventures. When Maria Passingham moved to Buxton and discovered the Great Days Out on the bus from Buxton booklet, she was curious to follow the routes and discover the region’s treasures. With single fares costing less than a coffee, the stress of finding a parking spot totally eradicated, and the bonus of being able to have a beer, she thought ‘what better way to explore my new home?’.
This series documents Maria’s Great Days Out, featuring immersive sounds from the region’s towns, villages, attractions, and of course buses, and conversations with people she meets along the way: Andrew, on an 8 hour pilgrimage to his mother’s grave; Andi, the charismatic cavern tour guide; and Suzanne, a business owner who’s still in disbelief that she gets to live where other people come on holiday.
These episodes will immerse you in local sounds and tidbits, in an opportunity to scope out Buxton and the Peak District from near or afar. And perhaps, just perhaps, inspire you to go on your own adventures by bus.
Great Days Out on the bus from Buxton podcast was created in collaboration with Buxton Town Team, and was inspired by the booklet of the same name.

Before Maria embarks on her adventures, she talks to Sarah Rawlinson from the Buxton Town Team, who created the Great Days Out on the bus from Buxton booklet. Sarah shares her motivation for putting it together, including her background in tourism and her desire to have both visitors and locals swap their cars for public transport. Sarah diligently rode each bus to accurately document the attractions along the way and the practicality of connections, and she shares some of her favourite routes in this conversation.
