Does anyone in distribution know if they are working Boxing day night to get stuff to offices for Sat 27th? Will the mail centres be sorting at some point Boxing day?

Not really sure tbh. I've heard it's gonna be like Good Friday was. At our place there was basically nothing going on on Good Friday and we had one or two DO runs before we were let to go home.

We had a full compliment of staff in as well.

This was in the Christmas Arrangements LTB, I think this is what you are referring to - so stuff will be processed and accordingly distribution should be working to get it out to the DO's:
3.14 To comply with the USO, Inland night shift operations should resume as required on
Friday 26th December and Thursday 1st January (2nd January in Scotland). Staff
required to attend within conditioned hours on Friday 26th December or on Thursday
1st January in the UK (2nd January in Scotland) will receive the Bank Holiday premium
for each hour worked on the Bank Holidays. ...........

Some MCs will use volunteers for both processing and distribution.
