A bus operator running services across the Peak District and wider Derbyshire has ceased trading, a council has said.
Derbyshire County Council said new operators have been appointed to run seven services which used to be managed by Hulleys of Baslow.
The company stopped operating a day earlier than expected on Wednesday, the council added.
The authority said the new operators "are doing all they can" to start their services early as a result.
It has confirmed the 110 and 111 bus will be run by Ashbourne Community Transport, the 172,173,178 will be run by Andrew's of Tideswell, the 63 will be run by Stagecoach Yorkshire and the 257 will be run by Linburg Coach Travel.
A number of commercial services, which were also run by Hulleys, still need operators, the council added.
