Where do the Amazon services stop in Walsall?
Is it the 1 & 2 stop outside the job centre in Hatherton Road, as some bloke asked in the Travel Shop on Friday & the guy behind the counter wasn't sure as he was new to the area plus he worked for Nx as well & I guess he wouldn't 'know' anyway!

All journeys on A5 and A51 are duplicated currently, with further likely to be introduced across these plus A52.
4800 was been closely followed by versa 2938 leaving Lichfield with Arriva Midlands onthe display not sure if this was being used on Amazon service.
Yes 2938 was on the amazon duping the A51 to Great Barr. Stafford depot duping the 0630 ex Great Barr. And then the 1730 ex Great Barr and 1845 return. Mon-Sat. 2938 was used today aswel.

This mornings A51/52's heading into Lichfield were in order Arriva 2937 , 4719 , 4718 and nx 4526.
According to our allocation sheets, NX 4777 should have also have been on the A52 this morning

Walsall are going to keep 4524 & 4526 on the Amazon contract where ever possible, Perry Barr have put 4525 into general use
Pulsar 3731 appeared to be on the A51 this morning sandwiched between 4719 and nx4526.
One of the Pulsars picked up from Wolverhampton this afternoon. Didn't catch the fleet number but most likely a CK example. NXWM Walsall's 4132 was also picking up from Pipers Row this afternoon
