History

In April 2012, Centrebus and Wellglade Group entered a 50/50 joint venture. This saw Bowers Coaches and Trentbarton's Buxton operations combined based at the latter's Dove Holes depot.^[2][3]

Services

High Peak operates all services previously run by Bowers Coaches and the Buxton depot of Trentbarton,^[2] including:

• Skyline 199 service from Buxton to Stockport and Manchester Airport
• Transpeak from Buxton, Bakewell, Matlock then onto Belper & Derby,^[4][5]
• Other local services serve Glossop, New Mills, Whaley Bridge, Ashbourne and Marple.^[6]

Fleet

Most of the fleet wears the Centrebus corporate livery save the vehicles used on Skyline199 and Transpeak which have dedicated branding. Skyline199 has a dedicated fleet of 2 Mercedes-Benz Citaros, 6 Enviro200 MMCs and 1 Optare Versa while Transpeak uses 4 Enviro200s and 2 Mercedes-Benz Citaros.^[7]
