With the adding of journeys on the service 79 the fleet had grown to six vehicles by the end of that year. The vehicles were painted in all over white with red Pete’s Travel lettering. In May 1994 the company acquired Lionspeed an Erdington based minibus operator who was running a mixture of commercial and Centro sponsored services in North Birmingham. The Purchase of Lionspeed Pete’s adopted the latter company’s green and yellow livery for the whole fleet.
