Anything on how an office of singleton vans

all rural duties fit in to the trials

I heard mon - Fri 1st ,2nd and parcels

1st and parcels and part of another rural on sat

Using wallington + would surely mean massive call rate on a mon and tues
That sounds pretty good actually, no change mon-fri and the only different thing you're doing is Saturdays mail rolled over onto Monday which will make hardly any difference.

Tuesdays won't be affected at all in the scenario you quoted.
You're still going to have some 2C on Saturdays. Either 2C that has hit the five day limit or where some other 2C for the same DP has either hit the 5 day limit or that DP has got a 1C item, anything in the system for that DP will be automatically released.

But it won't be being delivered

That's partly relevant we were told that on the 1c only days if there was something else for the same address it would be delivered, the 2nd part though is isn't, if 2c is released due to the 5 day limit it still won't be going anywhere if there isn't a parcel or a 1c item.

Tbh I doubt 1c will be going anywhere either on a Saturday if there's too many parcels but that's well above my pay grade so let's say it's just a guess from a cynical postie.

Any 2C released on a Friday night through hitting the 5 day limit will still be sequenced and go out to the DOs. It'll be down to the DOs if they extract it and put it to one side or sort and deliver it.

Yes, that's roughly what I said, it might get delivered or it might not, who knows, or even who cares,definitely not either of us.
