roads are major freight routes and are often congested, which has created traffic problems both for Hadfield and the neighbouring towns and villages. The proposed Mottram to Tintwistle by-pass is intended to relieve the congestion. Buses Bus services in the area are operated by Stagecoach Manchester and High Peak Buses. The town is served by three main bus routes: 237, which runs twice per hour in each direction towards Glossop and Ashton-under-Lyne 341, which runs hourly to both Glossop and Hyde 393, which is an hourly circular route linking the town to Padfield, Glossop and Shirebrook Park. Media The popular BBC television comedy series The League of Gentlemen was filmed in Hadfield, which doubled as the fictional town of Royston Vasey. In the film spin-off from the original series, The League of Gentlemen's Apocalypse, Hadfield appears as itself when the characters from the TV series enter into the real world through a supposed portal below a church. The statue featured in the series and film's opening credits is the war memorial, commemorating lives lost in the First and Second World Wars.
