Travel Express

The company came under fire in January 2015 following a public enquiry by Traffic Commissioner Nick Jones, with the investigation finding that buses were unsafe and dirty, basic safety principles were unmet and that the company employed no cleaner, whilst branding manager Kishan Chumber 'incompetent'.^[4][7] Chumber responded, stating that the results of the public enquiry were a "gross vilification of the business" and that Travel Express were being unfairly targeted.^[3] The company had its number of allowed buses reduced from 13 to 8,^[4] and its routes reduced from 4 to 2.^[8] In September 2015, the company's licence was revoked for failing to comply with requirements imposed by the Traffic Commissioner.^[9][8][10]

In 2016, Travel Express, now trading as ‘Let’s Go’ received a new licence to operate 8 vehicles, under three conditions:

• The company employ a full-time transport manager,
• The company employ a full time mechanic,
• Mr Chumber has no role in vehicle maintenance.^[8]

In 2018, Travel Express' owner, Kishan Singh Chumber, applied to be re-instated as a Transport Manager for the company. At the January 2018 Traffic Commission meeting, he withdrew his application.^[11]

In May 2024, it was announced that the company would have its license revoked with effect from 16 June 2024.^[12] The TfWM contracted routes began to be operated by Diamond Bus from Monday 17 June 2024. Commercially operated journeys on services 1, 3, 11 and 529 would not be replaced.

Let's Go continue to operate the 1, 11 and 59 services while awaiting their appeal against the revoking of their license.
