Have your say: Name the bus! – FINAL POLL
Added 2021-08-23 17:45:26 +0000 UTC
Thank you for all your fantastic suggestions for the Time Team Bus – we've been overwhelmed by the response and have enjoyed reading each and every idea.
There are so many great options, but we must choose one and that decision ultimately rests with you – our Patrons.
So, without further ado... let's name that bus!
NOTE: The poll will be closing very soon, so make sure you get your vote in quickly to have your say.

This is great! I wanted to suggest Mick The Bus but time got away from me... :)

2021-09-12 02:34:43 +0000 UTCPlease paint it or part of it with the colorful stripes of Mick’s sweater!

2021-09-03 15:26:57 +0000 UTCHow did we miss a pun with Victor AmBUS? Very excited. :)

2021-08-28 09:50:11 +0000 UTCIt will be fun whatever name selected, bus utility & comfort are most important to the search.

2021-08-27 04:49:53 +0000 UTCMick mobile is a perfect name for the remembrance of Time Machine Spirit. As I try to catch up on all the episodes I missed I always miss Mick when he’s not there. I believe he was a driving force behind Time Team.

2021-08-26 01:47:43 +0000 UTCIt just has to be. There can be no other.
Craig Macman Robinson
2021-08-25 20:38:46 +0000 UTCMick the wheels.
Henrik Vogt
2021-08-25 12:40:05 +0000 UTCMickmobile definitely!!

2021-08-24 16:26:53 +0000 UTCI thought the same. I thought my suggestion of "fossoribus" was good... Latin (historical connection) for "diggers" (team connection) and a play on the word "bus" (fun factor). Didn't even make it to the list of choices. 😢
Giles Cartmel
2021-08-24 13:45:58 +0000 UTCIsn't there an episode where someone refers to their coffee mug as the "Mick mug" because it had colored stripes reminiscent of Mick's famous sweater? After I saw that episode I went and got myself a Mick mug. I hope if Mickmobile wins, the bus will be similarly decorated <3

2021-08-24 13:10:48 +0000 UTCHonestly think naming it after Mick and Victor is tacky, and not really a good way to remember them. Too close to a meme-name like Boaty McBoatface territory... As much as some people like it, it's weird and doesn't really reflect what the bus is or is for. That's why I voted for the Time Machine, for the Time Team. There are better ways to remember Victor and Mick than this.
Michael Berthelsen
2021-08-24 12:19:25 +0000 UTCYes, we have got it. Thanks
Susan Casey
2021-08-24 10:12:16 +0000 UTCTotally agree with you. My sentiments exactly...
Chris Wilson
2021-08-24 09:52:14 +0000 UTCVoted for Time Machine, but will suggest that it's painted up as the classic Mystery Machine from Scooby Doo... They're travelling around solving mysteries in a short time, too...
Trygve Henriksen
2021-08-24 07:19:13 +0000 UTCAs above. I have made my selection but not sure if it's counted or is it that I am too late to vote. Could really do with a post your vote button.
Frank Meadows
2021-08-24 07:01:46 +0000 UTCIs it showing you ticks on the left of the options? If so just select the tick that applies.
Jane Anders
2021-08-24 05:44:51 +0000 UTCDo we just select the name we like and leave it at that? There is no 'Vote' button
Susan Casey
2021-08-24 02:53:14 +0000 UTCAlso I was getting 404 messages every time I tried to access Patreon to vote. Got in on my desktop but could never get in on my phone. If your response rate is low, you may want to test access. For record, got in via Window 10 desktop. Then figured out you have to click on the space ship which one cannot do on a iphone SE screen.

2021-08-23 23:38:56 +0000 UTCWould be good to post the deadline again.

2021-08-23 23:36:03 +0000 UTCJust Mick for short.

2021-08-23 23:28:53 +0000 UTCNot to forget Ian Barclay the ace digger driver

2021-08-23 22:48:31 +0000 UTCThat could make the vehicle a “Stratusliner”!😁

2021-08-23 22:38:30 +0000 UTCDon’t forget Robin ;p
Dacid Thorn
2021-08-23 22:24:18 +0000 UTCOk not sure if I’m too late but my vote was Mickmobile anyways so good going team. Time Team Machine was tempting cuz it rhymed but a lil too on the nose and long. Perfect tribute to Mick.
Dacid Thorn
2021-08-23 22:23:32 +0000 UTCHey my Mickmobile made it!
Michael Schneider
2021-08-23 22:03:27 +0000 UTCTo me the most appropriate is to name the bus in memory of Mick and Victor and what they brought to Time Team
Tony Atkins
2021-08-23 21:35:53 +0000 UTCTo Me, the MIckmobile just seems right, in honor of Prof. Mick Aston. in some small way he is still there..
Donna Oglesby
2021-08-23 21:26:35 +0000 UTCI went with one of the Tardis names as my Irish ancestors would never let vote for a Mickmobile
Vincent Maresca
2021-08-23 20:54:35 +0000 UTCHow did "tempus fugit" not get on?
Dorothy Frank
2021-08-23 20:40:26 +0000 UTCI see my own entry, but I agree, the Mickmobile is a fantastic tribute ❤️❤️❤️
Sophie Haeghens
2021-08-23 20:16:23 +0000 UTCMickmobile!
Ellen Holt
2021-08-23 20:16:09 +0000 UTCGood Luck !!!!!!!!!!!! Go get them
James Matney
2021-08-23 19:31:07 +0000 UTCPfff. How do I name my shuffle? Yes, shuffle. It’s just a tool.
Tom Lindeboom
2021-08-23 19:21:48 +0000 UTCSorry for being late... Love the poll!!
Simone Fritzen
2021-08-23 19:20:58 +0000 UTCThe Grubb Hut, of course , sorry I’m late. Or the full name: the Aston Ambrus Rolling Grubb Hut.
John Kjellberg
2021-08-23 19:15:37 +0000 UTCWhile I’m not in favour of “Time Machine” or any of it’s variants I completely agree with you. Any time there’s a poll like this, one or more concepts are spread across a range of variants invariably leading that one to fall behind. It’s the classic spoiler effect in FPTP voting systems.
wich
2021-08-23 19:09:15 +0000 UTCYes, Mickmobile sounds just right to me. Thanks for this poll!
Julie Turner
2021-08-23 18:40:38 +0000 UTCMickmobile sounds good to me.
Priscilla Logan
2021-08-23 18:36:08 +0000 UTCHow did Digger-Bago not make the poll? Outraged 😂
Stephen Toland
2021-08-23 18:32:03 +0000 UTCnot sure i dont disagree.
Mark Lund
2021-08-23 18:30:16 +0000 UTCI suggested Mick&Vic mobile, so the closest is Mick mobile which gets my vote.
Patsyconn
2021-08-23 18:22:04 +0000 UTCI was too late to submit "Magical History Tour" :-(
John Evans
2021-08-23 18:20:09 +0000 UTCTerrible names. Better off unnamed.
Tom Lindeboom
2021-08-23 18:15:40 +0000 UTC“Ok, hop aboard everyone. We’re all taking the Mick”!
Jon Colcord
2021-08-23 18:12:08 +0000 UTCObvious choice. It has to be the old boy himself.
Andrew Ratcliffe
2021-08-23 18:08:32 +0000 UTCMick digit never got there oh well good luck to all
Jason Lovatt
2021-08-23 18:04:54 +0000 UTCThis would certainly be a great application of "Rank Choice Voting". Votes are being split among the various "Time Machine" type of options, which if consolidated just might be in the lead. I'm getting ready to demand a recount! ;)
Christopher Becke
2021-08-23 18:03:53 +0000 UTCNow you have to paint it like one of Mick's multicolor sweaters.. 😊👍
Ellis Coombs
2021-08-23 18:02:56 +0000 UTCI just realized that most likely people will just end up saying "let's head over to the bus" so should have submitted "The Bus" as a name.
bil Jeschke
2021-08-23 18:02:52 +0000 UTCImagine the Mickmobile with all the horizontal color stripes of his sweater on the field. Awesome!!! The horizontal stripes also represent layer by layer they're excavating.
Marianne Eppelheimer
2021-08-23 18:02:00 +0000 UTCI still think The Chariot was really good. It didn't even make the list! Oh well.......
Ellen Woodrow
2021-08-23 17:59:43 +0000 UTCNaming a bus after Mick seems a bit weird to me. I went for The Time Machine, because it's easy to say and makes sense for a Time Team to use.
Dave Hoskins.
2021-08-23 17:57:18 +0000 UTCAs much as I love all those who have made time team what it is, I think the bus deserves a classier more timeless name. The Time Machine has both a literary reference and a nice connection to the Time Team brand.
Philip Corlis
2021-08-23 17:54:30 +0000 UTCWhat about Aston Express? Too late I suppose.
Craig O’Malley
2021-08-23 17:52:25 +0000 UTCIn any case, the bus is going to be rainbow colour, right? Like Mick's jumper.
Wiwik Anggraini
2021-08-23 17:51:01 +0000 UTCI would just call it Mick and have at it.
Lady of the Leaves
2021-08-23 17:49:24 +0000 UTCThe Time Team Machine is such an awesome name for this bus! 🤞🏻🥰
