Wednesfield Garage

I wonder which of Wednesfield buses will turn up at Different arriva depots with 10 days left before it closes

I think Hinckley could get some buses in

[andyallen4014]

I suspect it will depend if there is anything newer at Wednesfield than is at Hinckley. I would suspect the only potential would be a Cadet moving to Hinckley for their increased PVR.

Well the wonderful generous directors at Arriva have decided to pay a £300 one off payment to employees who complete all their shifts until closure on the 22nd.   So no sickness allowed.
The payment is also a combined one off payment to the 15 drivers tipped to diamond as a thank you for their hard work and also a one off payment to Wednesfield staff transferring to Tamworth, Telford and Cannock to help with relocation costs!!!!??
Considering some drivers will be travelling 60 miles a day to their new garages, £300 is basically 4 weeks petrol money, never mind the extra 2 hours travel time to work each day.

The generous offer was made on the same day that Arriva  announced its revenues had increased by 5.2% to 4.43 billion pounds.

They could of given them more with the amount they have taken

So the ill drivers are allowed to infect the passengers for £300?

So the ex London sheds are staying at cannock and newer cadets going to hinckley....

[Bob]

Poor Tamworth though....I'd imagine these are a temporary arrangement?

[markcf83]

Are the buses shown as transferring from Arriva to Rotala permanent or not? And if so,do Rotala have plans for upgrading them?

Yes, permanent, not to upgrading them. They only intend using them 'if they have to'

[markcf83]
