[edit] History
The Merry Hill Minibus, or after 1998, Travel Merry Hill company was originally owned by the former owners of the Merry Hill Centre, Richardson's. One of the first routes that was started was route 368/610 (Dudley/Halesowen - Merry Hill - Ashwood Park - Merry Hill - Dudley/Halesowen).
[edit] National Express takeover
During 1997 Merry Hill Minibuses was taken over by West Midlands Travel's parent company National Express who continued to run it as a separate subsidiary. The operating centre was moved in 1999 from the back of the Merry Hill Centre to the Pensnett Trading Estate in Dudley.
[edit] Rebranded Travel West Midlands
On 17 February 2001, following a group restructuring the Travel Merry Hill services were absorbed into the main company which by now was trading as Travel West Midlands. This ended the Travel Merry Hill operation.
