North Birmingham Busways (NBB) was a small bus operator established in the mid 1990s, and based near Erdington, in Birmingham. Their services operated throughout North Birmingham, using, in the main, a distinctive livery of green and cream. In addition to bus services, the company also offered PCV training. [1]
On Monday 18 June 2007 it was announced that Rotala plc was to purchase North Birmingham Busways for £860,000 [2].
On Monday 20 August 2007 the bus service operations and vehicles transferred to Rotala's bus operating arm in the West Midlands region Central Connect.
