National express west midlands Volvo B6LE S620 VOA is now in preservation with the wyvern bus preservation group, and is under restoration. It will be restored to travel yourbus guise
Should look great with the Green, Blue & White livery of TMH make a welcome change to see another obsolete livery from the 90's
No - it was a Travel Your Bus vehicle so will be orange, blue and white. But it will be good to see an obsolete livery!

That was Travel Merry Hill, they're doing it into Travel Your Bus which is Orange, Blue and white
Yes guys your right misread the quote. I even put TMH in my quote not TYB. Yes should look good in your bus livery as well. Sorry about my fatal mistake of read carefully before writing drivel lol
Was yourbus a part of TWM or just a competitor that ripped the name and livery off?
At first your bus was an independent competitor but TWM did later buy your bus and it became a part of TWM

The original Yourbus livery was orange, brown and white, based on the livery of ex Greater Manchester vehicles which made up a part of the fleet. In those days it was Smiths of Shennington, trading as Yourbus. The later orange, white and blue TWM style livery was only adopted after TWM had acquired the business.

Thanks that clears it up :)
Yes 620 is being restored to your bus colours. It is remarkably tidy inside and out, has a new fan belt, drives nicely and all together a nice bus! She will appear at a few shows throughout 2016 and will be well looked after by the team
Travel your bus that takes me back I use to use the 81y from brum to Langley when a 88 wasn't nearby, they had some beefy stock on those routes. Drivers from your bus weren't happy of being part of the TWM family. 81y a strange route Oldbury town centre to shard end real odd ball.
