Thandi

[MidlandJoe75]

What's the story with this operator, Thandi & it's associated bus operators that came under it's wing

[Solo1]

thandi has had a lot of names over the years
here are so of them could be more
Ak travel Coach Express  City Solutions Lynx Solutions Alma ST
Finesse Coaches Thandi travels buses Jline  London ST
transol  based Holyhead rd.
MBC1  Rest&Ride   Taj Rolfe St
Walsall Travel
Goldenline  Oldbury or was it Gold Bus that was in Oldbury
1  based in Harvills industrial estate 
Not sure if Sunrise travel & Star bus service were part of the Thandi family

[Steveminor]

City solutions & lynx solutions were seperate businesses to Thandi
Sunrise & star were also seperate & part owned by the family that run sunny travel

[Solo1]

 I thought city & lynx solutions were linked to thandi

City solutions & lynx solutions were seperate businesses to Thandi
Sunrise & star were also seperate & part owned by the family that run sunny travel

City Solutions and Midland Bus Company are both very strongly linked, Both City Solutions and Lynx Solutions had there registered office at the Alma Street, so although they were not owned directly by Thandi they still had a strong link with them

[Steveminor]

I believe they rented space from Thandi & used them for maintenance

Why have Elite Coach services (thandi ?)  moved from London St Smethwick to only
a few streets way 

[BN]

Where are they now? I've also noticed most of the coaches have had thandi executive took off the sides?

Does anyone know the identity of a Thandi caetano nimbus I saw this afternoon? I can't find any trace of them having one by searching the internet.

The fleet lists for Thandi/Evergreen/Finesse need updating as seen quite a few coaches not listed.

In terms of Thandi WM operators now, I've kind of lost track.

There's Evergreen coaches, Thandi Coaches but also Elite Coaches who run between Walsall and Bilston? Are they all part of the same "Thandi" group or are they separate branches. Is this it? Is Discount Travel Solutions anything to do with them?

I reckon no-one could name every incarnation Thandi have had...
