Text Box: Welcome aboard! Text Box: BUS SERVICES: BLACK CAT ; DERBY - CHADDESDEN - STANLEY - WEST HALLAM - ILKESTON ILKESTON FLYER; ILKESTON - DERBY After 80 years of service, Felix Bus Services have ceased operation of both the Black Cat and Ilkeston Flyer bus services, also DCFC football specials. These services are now operated by Trent Barton. http://www.trentbarton.co.uk For timetable information please call Traveline (0871 200 2233) not Felix Coaches. Text Box: FELIX Bus Services was established in Stanley Village in 1922, and named after the popular song of the day ‘Felix Kept on Walking’. We are justifiably proud to have served the public in and around Ilkeston and Derby for over 80 years and to have maintained a high standard of quality, service and reliability. Felix stopped the operation of local bus services on Monday 30th January 2012 - the ‘Black Cat’ and ‘Ilkeston Flyer’ bus services have been taken over by Trent Barton. For over 25 years Felix have been arranging coach holidays and day excursions. In January 2012 the Felix coach operations were passed on to Swiftsure Travel who now arrange and operate all the Felix coach excursions, tours and private hire. A list of this year’s Holiday Tours can be found by clicking on the “Holidays” button above. Our coaches have a small pick up area focusing mainly on Derby City Centre, Chaddesden, Oakwood, Stanley and Stanley Common, West Hallam, Kirk Hallam, Ilkeston and Heanor. We do not usually use feeder coaches so that once you are on board, the tour begins. Our main Day Trip programme picks up along the same route between Ilkeston and Derby, via Chaddesden, Stanley & West Hallam. This route also picks up in Cotmanhay and Kirk Hallam. We have a second Day Trip pick up route from Shipley, Langley Mill, Heanor, Loscoe, Codnor and Ripley. We are always happy to help with any Coach Hire bookings and we can provide groups with a tailor-made tour. We offer our coach hire customers a free booking service for theatre tickets, meals, hotel accommodation and many tourist attractions. It is also possible to make a small group booking on one of our day excursions or holidays if your club hasn’t enough members to fill a coach completely.
