Derbyshire County Council have put the timetable for the extended X17 on their transport website - it starts on the 22nd July.

The breakdown is as followed:
- The Chesterfield-Sheffield short journeys Monday to Saturday are extended via Meadowhall and the M1 to Barnsley. The only weekday exception to that is the 0715 departure from Matlock which extends to Barnsley, all Matlock journeys will continue to terminate in Sheffield Interchange during the week - on Sundays journeys will operate between Matlock and Barnsley (although the first departure from Barnsley isn't until 0938 arriving in Matlock at 1204, with the last full length journey to Barnsley leaves Matlock at 1510 - giving just 3 hours in Matlock)
- The present last Monday to Saturday departure from Sheffield to Matlock will run 5 minutes later than present. A new later journey from Barnsley to Chesterfield is introduced, leaving Barnsley at 2015 and Sheffield at 2105 with arrival in Chesterfield at 2142 (the driver and vehicle on that working has a 75 minute layover in Barnsley). In contrast, the last Monday to Saturday journey between Chesterfield and Matlock is retimed to run 15 minutes earlier at 2220 (presently 2235) with the return working also likewise retimed to leave Matlock at 2250 (2305) and revised to terminate in Chesterfield Coach Station (presently this extends to Cavendish Street)
- Journeys from Sheffield to Chesterfield and Matlock will move to Stand D4 in Sheffield Interchange, presently using Stand B4

Confirms the stand changes in Sheffield - towards Barnsley, it will use Stand C1 which will be shared with the X78 towards Doncaster. Likewise, in Meadowhall, Chesterfield/Matlock-bound journeys will share the X78 stand (Stand A4).

Also due to roadworks, there are some major changes to services 57 (Sheffield to Stocksbridge via Hillsborough and Ouightbridge), 201 (Chapeltown to Stocksbridge) and SL1/SL1a (Middlewood Park and Ride to Stocksbridge via Deepcar).
Breaking it down, it goes as followed:
The 57 will only operated between Sheffield and Wharncliffe Side only. Additional shuttle journeys on the 57 will operate between Wharncliffe Side and Middlewood Park and Ride. The early morning Sunday journeys on the 57 will be split in two - normal timetable between Stocksbridge and Deepcar (3 journeys from Stocksbridge, with one return journey from Deepcar), while a revised timetable will be in place between Wharncliffe Side and Sheffield to the same frequency (3 into the city and 1 outbound journey). The shuttle journeys will run twice hourly Monday to Saturday daytime (three times an hour at peak times) until approximately 2200 when it drops to hourly. On Sundays, the shuttle will run every 20 minutes until 1808, after which there's a forty minute gap at which point it drops to hourly (matching the SL1).
The SL1/SL1a will operate via Leppings Lane, Halifax Road, Penistone Road and Stocksbridge Bypass to Deepcar, before then operating their normal routes around Deepcar and Stocksbridge, returning to Middlewood via the outbound route reversed. Evening/Sunday journeys will continue to serve the areas of Stocksbridge normally served by the 57 during the day.
The 201 will be extended to Deepcar via the 57 route to cover these areas at other times. It will operate normally between Stocksbridge and Chapeltown.
