Yes! I vaguely remember when the Hopper's were introduced, bright yellow and green. I would have been 6 at the time and I was most annoyed we couldn't catch the 7, 5 or 4 anymore. They had turned into the 117, 115 and 114.AdamH wrote: ↑08:16 Monday 2nd December 2019I think you're right. I can't remember MRW/FMR ever using names on buses during the 24-years I was there. Well, not officially anyway... The drivers had a few names for them but I won't go into that now!

The name is visible on this photo... http://midlandred.net/vehicles/photogra ... 01&image=4 but too small to make it out.
It was called “Jim Seery”

Re: Salt Road Fleet Names
Another Digbeth based Lance was named 'Sir Richard Knowles', the then Lord Mayor of Birmingham, but I cannot recall the fleet number.
Also named was the Mercedes 608D which appeared in Worcester Royal Charter Celebration livery. This was called Richard 1st.
