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:
Fleet
Most of the fleet wears the Centrebus corporate livery, with the vehicles used on Skyline199 and Transpeak have their own dedicated liveries. Skyline199 has a dedicated fleet of mostly Enviro200 MMCs, while Transpeak now is a sole operation of 4 Mercedes Citaros. As of January 2026, the former TransPeak Enviro200s have transferred to Chaserider.
The Centrebus group continue to invest in its fleet, with the addition of five 2015 Mercedes Citaro O295s in early 2026, formerly at Blackpool Transport.
Depots
High Peak has a fleet of around 50 vehicles all based at the former Trentbarton depot in Dove Holes and employs over 100 people.[7] High Peak opened a Depot at the former Hulleys depot at Baslow.
