The 35 was the only bus that Derby City Council subsidised (i think) and they pulled the funding. Most of the route is covered by alternative buses (the Harlequin has picked up most of the Littleover traffic) and the bits that aren't don't produce enough traffic to keep going.
I believe the 17A was originally a Derby tender and they also contributed to the Derbyshire funded 9/A. The 35 had been commercially operated by N&D following what appears to be the complete withdrawal of bus funding by the City authority. Imagine if the City of Nottingham pulled all funding - there would be huge gaps in the network!
