Buses brought in to manage surge in online shopping

An online shopping delivery service has had to bring in buses to deal with the “large increase” in people buying on the web.

Parcel Motel, which is a locker-based service, allows consumers to use a virtual address for items they buy online and then collect their goods from stationary units across the country.

However, the company has brought in buses which it has repurposed to deal with the extraordinary demand this Christmas.
