High Peak Buses Limited is a bus company based in Dove Holes, Derbyshire, formed in 2012.[1] It operates a mixture of local and long-distance commercial and subsidised public bus services in and around the Borough of High Peak, after which it is named. Services in the Alfreton and Matlock areas are operated under the Hulleys brand.
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, 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.
