DAF 4779 is reported to be the latest addition to the Midland fleet, primarily for their contribution to the Amazon A1 service.

But the A1 is operated out of Cannock not Wednesfield, Midland have 4778 but 4779 is based at cannock and is used on A1's already

4779 is a cannock bus already, don't see why this would transfer to Midland to 'help contribute to the amazon contract', the A1 is operated out of Cannock wich have 3 deckers 4779 S292JUA, 4791 S217JUA and 4792 S218JUA, 4778 S251JUA was the decker that transfered to Midland!

4779 (S292 JUA) is at Wednesfield alongside 4778 (S251 JUA) and does operate one of the three boards required for service A1.

How long has midland been running the A1 alongside Cannock then?

Since yesterday.

And no, the entire operation will not move over.

arrivaaston

So cannock had 4 deckers 4779 S292JUA, 4787 S213JUA, 4791 S217JUA and 4792 S218 JUA,

4787 went to Telford
4779 supposedly to Midland
4791 Cannock
4792 Cannock

Today I heard from a friend that there was 3 deckers out today so 2 would of been 4791 and 4792 what was the 3rd if 4779 has gone to Midland?

No, 4779 definitely to Midland, which forms the 3rd A1 working as already explained.

arrivaaston

I've only ever seen 2 deckers working the A1 so how long has Midland ran a 3rd
