High Peak is a bus company in Derbyshire, England, which was formed in April 2012,[2] as a merger between Bowers Coaches and the Buxton division of Trent Barton, which includes the 199 service to Stockport and Manchester Airport and the TransPeak service from Nottingham to Manchester via Derby.[3][4] It has a fleet of 50 vehicles, which operates from the former Trent Barton depot at Dove Holes, and will employ around 100 people.[5]
The fleet has a blue and orange corporate Centrebus livery, although the Transpeak and Skyline routes are expected to keep branded livery,[1] while 'Cheshire Connect' vehicles used on former Bowers route around the Macclesfield area must retain the current livery under the leasing agreement with Cheshire East council.
