OMC Global based in Witney have announced the launch of their new Birmingham operation. Seen a couple of posts on Facebook too from the owner looking for drivers in the Midlands area, so will be interesting to see how these guys get along!

However buses still have legals as Darlaston. They have a new enviro 200 from vision bus on Friday I seen it still with vision bus logos on and their legals on. Reg is (YY64 GWC) this had paper blinds and paper legals with their new bescot legals.
Quote from: Westy on March 12, 2024, 10:18:53 PMI saw a couple of Jkt vehicles turning off Central Drive in Dudleys Fields into that industrial estate that leads to the old Bloxwich level crossing about 420pm today.
Didnt get the regs though.
Quote from: Michael Bevan on February 11, 2024, 02:19:05 PMHad a ride on YX11 AEO earlier. Seemed alright to fair. Whilst the vehicle may still be in Vision Bus colours, it has logos on which clearly state the company name. Drivers have uniform and hi-vizs.
Only negative points I would say are that the vehicles currently have no ticket machines at the moment nor any assault screen.
Regarding the fleet, I've been told they have x2 ex Vision Bus E200's, so I'm guessing that ex Panther Travel E200 would mean they have three.
It is only the first day though, so we will see how things go. But it is good to see new operators giving bus work a go in the West Midlands.
Quote from: BlackCountryBusSpotter on February 11, 2024, 11:57:29 AMFastline are based in Pleck, Carloean's depot is listed as Darlaston any link between the two or are they just using this as storage. As whenever I have past Fastline's depot they do sometimes have other coaches in the yard.
First Impressions, Bus is in a livery and has there name and legals on it better than Travel Express, Driver and Second Driver possibly are in a Uniform and have Hi Vi's Jackets on, there isn't any fare information that I could see but so far they don't look like a cowboy Operator. Will be interesting to see if they do get a livery either this Blue Livery or something else.
