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 5 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.
