TLC Travel is a bus operator based in Bradford which operates bus services across West Yorkshire, England.
History
TLC Travel was founded on 26 January 2000 as Trish Lambert Coaches by former First West Yorkshire manager Trish Lambert. It operated a single coach, purchased second-hand, on private hire services.[1][2]
The company began to expand after winning Bradford AccessBus contracts from West Yorkshire Metro, adopting the name TLC Travel.[2] Initially, second-hand Mercedes-Benz Sprinter minibuses were used, with four brand new Optare Solos arriving in November 2000.[1] These were painted in West Yorkshire Metro's house colours of red and white; as TLC Travel won tenders for more services, they adopted a cream and navy blue livery based on the former colours of Bradford Corporation Tramways.[1]
As of February 2016, TLC Travel operated 44 routes.[3] In May 2018, TLC Travel ceased operating services in Keighley with services taken over by Keighley Bus Company.[4]
In September 2020, TLC took over services run by Yorkshire Tiger from Bradford to Leeds Bradford Airport via Shipley.[5]
Fleet
As of October 2015, TLC Travel's fleet consisted of 42 Optare Solo and Alexander Dennis Enviro200s.[2]
