TML Travel Group - New Look Website Launched

We have just launched a new look website after 18 months on the internet, which is certainly a lot more appealing on the eye and packed full of new features.

Latest modifications include a new "cloud" background to the web page together with a moving slide show at the top. The slide show incorporates some of our favourite destinations as well as a brief glimpse of the vehicles that operate on our tours. We have also refreshed the menu and title colour scheme with a lighter green for the titles and a lighter blue for the menus. All in all we feel these features give it a more calming, relaxed and fresher look.

In addition to the look of the website, we have also included a host of new and updated videos - these include:

• A new Introductory video on the main home page
• A revised "Travel In Style" video in the Travelling Experience section taking into account the latest Eavesway fleet update
