TBP Vehicles

Hi all
I have come across several articles about this company from Birmingham (now defunct?) that refurbed RM's in the early 90's. Does anyone have any details of Buses refurbed there and what quantity ? They did a lot of interior lighting replacements ?
Thanks, Andy

Re: TBP Vehicles

All 22 of the BTS RML's were refurbished at TBP but I understand that they carried out all the 'B' frame work for all the buses which were refurbished.

My bus number (if any): RM 912

Re: TBP Vehicles

Thanks for that. I guess they were the ones that were 'Poppy Red' on the 13's? Wasn't BTS absorbed in to Sovereign ?

Re: TBP Vehicles

BTS was bought by Blazefield Holdings and was subsequently re-named London Sovereign

My bus number (if any): RM 912

Re: TBP Vehicles

I recorded all the RMLs as they were refurbished in 1992-1994 and produced a couple of articles on the refurbishment programme.

In total, TBP completed 220 RMLs.

If you send me a message, I will see how I can help.
