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 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]

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

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. [9] High Peak opened a Depot at the former Hulleys depot at Baslow.
