A1 Wolverhampton - Amazon

[MrBevan2000]

From what I've been told, PB will be running 5 A52's in the morning from the 1st of November.

Seems excessive as the current WA bus doesn't get full, I've seen it at 75% at 1 point although Amazon are looking to recruit more people

He lives in Perry Barr so more time he will be getting the bus from kingstanding

Tell him to use the outbound 33 stop outside the Kingstanding Circle, only time the bus stops during the journey !

Can you use a PAYG Swift card to pay for the fares on the Amazon routes?

Can you use a PAYG Swift card to pay for the fares on the Amazon routes?

Nope, you have to use the Amazon fare system, other systems such as Swift Card, daysaver and travel cards aren't valid. Its quite the downer as I have bus pass yet I have to fork out extra per day

Swift PAYG should still work though, because that is just an equivalent of cash and it will just take the higher fare off the card

My apologies, just heard drivers keep saying nothing else will work,

Tony I was wondering will the Amazon services be getting more buses or will it just 1 bus per journey

That's what I thought.
It'll save me having to find £24 in change each week....... well it will when the employment agency tells me I can start working there.
So much for that instant start/job offer mentioned prominently in the job ad. -_-

Why Should PB do it?

[Michael Bevan]

Why Should PB do it?

PB used to do it and were suppose to do it from November. However I don't know what has happened but WA has retained it.

Anyone know what happened to the 6.45am A5 this morning?
We ended up having to wait over an hour to get on the two that brought in the day shift, which usually head straight back to Wolves not in service.
If it was a breakdown that'll be the third one that's directly affected me since I started working at Amazon just over two weeks ago -_-
Reminds me of when I had a temp job at Wolves college and had to endure the frequently overheating Spectras on the 501.

The A52 aint any more reliable I can tell ya !

[SMK]

I just don't understand how you can have one timetable that applies to all seven days of the week and seemingly fails to take in account the difference in peak time traffic levels between weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
The A5 is regularly late whenever I catch it to Amazon for my night shift, except on Sundays.

Oh well I no longer have to endure it because I've been told that my contract has been terminated -_-
