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]

Included were the Skyline 199 service from Buxton to Stockport and Manchester Airport and Transpeak from Nottingham through Derby to Manchester.[4][5] It has a fleet of 50 vehicles, which operates from the former Trent Barton depot at Dove Holes, and employs around 100 people.[6]
Most of the fleet has the standard blue and orange corporate Centrebus livery, although Skyline199 and Transpeak use branded vehicles, Skyline has two-tone red Mercedes-Benz Citaros and TransPeak uses green Enviro200s and Scania Omnicities. [7]
