Team Pennine
Team Pennine operates both local and regional bus services in West Yorkshire, England. It is a subsidiary of Transdev Blazefield, which operates bus services across Greater Manchester, Lancashire, North Yorkshire and West Yorkshire.
In December 2005, Stagecoach Yorkshire purchased the operations of Yorkshire Traction in Huddersfield – a deal valued at £37 million. At the time, with a total of 840 vehicles, The Traction Group was Britain's sixth-largest bus group and the largest of which to be privately owned.
In March 2008, it was reported that Arriva UK Bus were in discussions with Stagecoach Yorkshire to purchase their bus operations in Huddersfield.
Arriva Yorkshire already operated services in the town, so purchasing Stagecoach's operations would enlarge their presence. At the time Arriva registered a trading name of K Line, registered on the Arriva Yorkshire licence.
In May 2008, Centrebus Holdings was successful in purchasing the operations. Centrebus Holdings was owned by three directors of Centrebus, who together owned 56%, with Arriva UK Bus owning the remaining 44%. Despite the common name and livery, Centrebus Holdings has never been owned by Centrebus.
In August 2008, Arriva Midlands sold their Hinckley depot to Centrebus Holdings. In the following month, the company purchased the bus operations of Woods Coaches of Leicester.
Following the Arriva takeover in September 2013, the Hinckley-based operations were rebranded as Hinckley Bus.
In 2019, the company's operations in Hinckley were amalgamated with the Leicester operations of Arriva Midlands, with the depot serving as an outstation for the company's South Wigston depot.
