Yes, I've been given a name as well, someone with history in the West Midlands

Good history or the same kind of legacy as Travel Express currently have?

That is great to hear that Travel Express have found a TM. I really look forward to seeing and using their buses around Wolverhampton again. If that is true that Travel Express will be limited to four vehicles and two routes then i wonder what routes they will choose (and i wonder what they will do with their buses as they currently have 17 vehicles in their fleet). I am guessing thay they will probably go back on to some of their previous bus routes.

@Solo1 - It will be interesting to see. Although i think that there is far more important things for them to focus on other than a livery and fleetnames.

The Dodge Minibus was horrible to travel on! Roasting during the summer and some of the windows permanently screwed shut. Got it one July on a rammed 63 after TWM had a gap in service, very unpleasant!!
