Speedwellbus (formerly Speedwell Private Hire) is a bus operator based in Hyde, Greater Manchester, England. It operates a fleet of 37 buses on commercial and contracted services. Operations commenced in 2002 with a service between Glossop and Tintwistle, and were expanded with the addition of contracts from Derbyshire County Council and Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Executive. Being a collaboration between Jack Hampson and David Whyatt, it can in some ways be viewed as a continuation of the Glossopdale Bus Company project. The company was originally based in Glossop until they moved to the current base in Hyde.
