X1 has 50 minute connections onto the 110/111. Then basically no connection onto either the 172 or 63. 257 has 75 minute connections with the X57. The 271/272 have 50 minute connections.

Hulleys are interworking so much to benefit operations that they have ruined connections between almost all buses.

I think you’re looking at it entirely from the perspective of an enthusiast looking for a jolly.

The 257 connects well with the x57 towards Manchester at ladybower. No regular passenger is going to take it to sheffield to backtrack over the same stretch of a57,
If you were at Sheffield wanting a destination south of yorkshire bridge, you already have a direct service in the 272, 65 or 218.

There’s no point having connections for passenger flows that don’t exist. And tbh I’d be quite happy with a 50 minute connection in ashbourne - the x1 is going to struggle for timekeeping.

The 110/111 are a dcc timetable that other than Covid Times is the same as when yourbus ran it. It’s not something hulleys have altered to suit.
