Welcome to Mini Switzerland
This is the page for your feedback on the Switzerland in the Peak District proposals.
Mini Switzerland is a national demonstrator for how rural public transport in Britain could work: reliable, integrated, easy to use, and capable of moving trips away from the car. It is designed to improve mobility in Derbyshire’s Hope Valley as a means of gaining the experience, evidence, learning and confidence needed for rural transport transformation across the country.

Do remember that Mini Switzerland has been created - and is being run - by a volunteer team.
We can’t promise to reply to everyone in detail but we will read every bit of feedback and take it into account as we iterate the proposals.
