History

edit

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]

edit

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

Fleet

Most of the fleet wears the Centrebus corporate livery although the vehicles used on Skyline199 and Transpeak which have dedicated branded vehicles. Skyline199 has a dedicated fleet of 7 Mercedes-Benz Citaros while Transpeak uses 4 Enviro200s.[7]

High Peak has recently added two ADL Enviro200MMCs as part of an upgrade to its fleet which all have space saving features.[8]
