Buxton is Centrebus's 'High Peak' operations that they work either on behalf of Trent Barton, or with Trent Barton.
They also work in Leicester (if I recall) and Luton I think.
About a year or two ago Centrebus earned a lot of work from Halifax Joint Comittee, First and maybe other operators in areas like Leeds and Halifax, which is why they now run the 528.
Personally I think it's not a great operation they run but they are doing well for themselves.

Thanks Liam,
That helps a lot, just the kind of information I was after
Centrebus also operate in Lincolnshire, Hertfordshire and Leicestershire. Their website will give you all the info you may need except a fleetlist. However, there is a Yahoo group for Centrebus which you can join where anything concerning Centrebus is posted and that has an up-to-date fleetlist with depot allocations. Hope this is useful for you.
All the best!

It also has operations in Northamptonshire with depots at Corby & Towcester.
Just incase anyone hasn't heard Centrebus are closing it's Harlow depot. Routes C1/2/3/4, 311, 341/351 are passing to Roadrunner. The rest of the services are transfering to Stevenage depot.
