Name the Time Team Bus!

Introducing the new Time Team Bus, our mobile HQ and nerve centre as we travel to sites across the UK! But we need your help to give it a name...

Share your suggestions by the end of the day on Saturday 21st August. We will then create a shortlist from our favourite suggestions, with the final name to be decided by a Patreon poll shortly afterwards.  So get creative, keep it clean, and get in quick for a chance to name the Time Team bus!

NOTE: This will be going out to the general public shortly, so remember where you heard it first! Please leave your suggestions in the comments section below. Thanks!

I would like to vote for The Mickmobile

I would like to vote for Fossoribus and The Mickmobile - will this be put to a poll eventually?

Tim Taylor's Time Team Archaeological Research Digs Is Stylin' Or TTTTARDIS which most people will shorten to T4ARDIS which is usually pronounced "T' Ford? Dis?"

Chris Healy

The Jumper

Ryan Sloan

Another idea that has just come to mind, and happens to be my favourite, would be Mick Aston after the man whose brain child Time Team was. Without the late Mick Aston, Time Team wouldn’t have existed.

How about Sir Tony, in honour of Tony Robinson.

Timelee, where Lee is a place of shelter, from the sea, from the wind.

Diana Patterson

Ooh, so similar to my idea, the 'Troweller'

Mark Grisham

There was a lot of trawlers where I grew up, and that inspired me to think of the Troweller.

Mark Grisham

"Dunno" or Dunno Yet. As Mick said I don´t know.

Eddie Eggerts

I would call it Phil for my favorite Digger

I'm with everyone else suggesting something relating to Mick Aston.

Mark Whiskin

The Digger Driver The Archaeologist Auto The Trowel Transport The Finds Phaeton

Daniel Defoe

Surely it's got to be "a fossoribus" (or just "fossoribus")... latin for "diggers", but has the play on "bus" too. :)

Giles Cartmel

How about "Time Revisited"

Yvonne Docketty

The Mickmobile.

Mike Tedham

I like the idea of a paint scheme in stripes for Mick's jumpers. Just watching Turkdean part 2, how about Tempus Grex if the Roman experts can agree on the Latin for Team now 😁 I was thinking of Tem(p)bus Grex, but according to Google translate Tembus is Indonesian for translucent.

Zoe Propper

The Time Traveller or the Time Machine (if they haven't already been suggested)

Stephen Lambert

Dolor Tempus or Tembus

Rachel Frazer

The Context Coach

Mark Bletchly

Some reference to Mick Aston. The bus should be painted in the colours of his many-coloured sweaters.

Antony Chapman

E.M.M.A. = Ex Memoriam Mick Aston

sigterm

How about “Tempus” or “Tem[bus]”? Tempus is Latin for time, and you could make the “p” stylized a bit so it can also look sort of like a “b”, so that it is sort of like “Time Bus”.

I agree with all those who've said that it must honour Mick Aston - the Aston Autobus? That's as close to getting Ambrus into the name as I could manage, too.

“The Aston Consciousness”

Graham Slingsby

The Stripey Jumper (someone on the fan page did a great version with lots of stripes - that SHOULD be the paint scheme.) Also suggesting Dusty, the Rolling Trowel, . and the catering truck or the loos should be called the Test Pit Stop.

Susan Dole

Wheels to history

Tebbin Salvesen

Maybe paint it like one of Mick‘s fuzzy jumpers.

Geoff Lusk

I think it should honor Mick Aston. Maybe the Aston Mobile.

Geoff Lusk

The Excavator

Carole Foster

I like so many suggestions so far! Here’s mine: Astonbus Pitmobile

Jessie Doherty

I agree with a name which will memorialize The Good Professor. Maybe somethinglike the “Aston Express”
