Travel Express was founded in 2000 by Kishan Singh Chumber, with the companies incorporation date being 25 September 2001.
Initially, Travel Express ran services in Birmingham before switching operations to Wolverhampton.
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'. 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.
As of August 20, 2015, Travel Express had ceased operating services on the 11, 33 & 33 routes in Wolverhampton.
