Confirmed 2 peeps in a van from 21st June subject to government guidance

Almost certainly it will not come back on the 21st. I would not be surprised if it will be kicked down the road even further than early July.. I am not looking forward to return of van sharing at all.

It will come back when it comes back.

Heard that my old office which I retired from is planning on scrapping all but two trolley duties! Including the one I had been on. So it sounds as if the shared van is still very much RM preferred method of delivery!

Nope, they're very near normal summer levels now

You do this all the time SP.
Perhaps in your relatively small area they are.
Not in my area they're not.

See that's how it works, we all see a relatively small part of the network, we all join the dots to paint a larger picture. Nobody's dot is definitive.

Traffic forecasting is done nationally, if traffic were up nationally then we'd have more staff in. If it were done locally we'd have less staff in

You should know by now that traffic always drops over the summer.

Since all the shops opened up again traffic dropped like a stone

Maybe where you work but it hasn’t dropped like a stone in my office, yes it’s a lot less than the lockdown but we had extra drivers in afternoon to cope now that’s gone and we have more lapsing so we are finishing late every day still

It’s going to come back and we all know it is, the people that say it’s never coming back need to give themselves a good shake! As we know it was introduced back into the business last year for a period of time regardless of social distancing been in place and again we know it’s nothing to do with social distancing that van share stopped again in December it was due to us been put back in level 4! Roll on van sharing.... can’t come quick enough!

Furlough being extended until September & the *cringe* “Freedom” date apparently going to be pushed back for another month,desperate as you are to return to van share,I wouldn’t be getting excited,just yet

“Freedom day” like we live in some oppressive communist country

So here`s the thing before lockdown `period` i was the uncomfirmed driver, during the pandemic the assigned driver decided to reinstate their claim as driver and been like that since. I dont think i will be going back to being the driver, and Revision what revision.

Indeed. The fact that it’s the S*n/Daily Heil ‘go to’ headline at the moment says it all. Unfortunately a high percentage of the general public just love to lap this nonsense up!

Funnily enough there is a chap at my place who did the same. Kept schtum about doing his change over years ago & never drove. I was actually his partner a couple of times whilst his buddy was on AL & I remember what a head scratcher it was trying to work out doing the packers on the maze like estate that he covers. To be fair he did help me out a bit,but it appears he could have done a bit more
