Anyone else see the trikes being trialed? Seems better than the vans and more environmentally friendly they have quite a bit of capacity as well I imagine this will eventually repay lot of the vans especially diesel ones

Are you in shared van? If so if it’s diesel it’s bad for the environment and we are being told to replace old vans with electric ones, so it may work for you now but it’s going to have to change in next few years

Its funny RM can find all this money to replace diesel vans with electric ones when the business is in such bad shape and the share price is falling, Wasn't it their wonderful idea not so long ago to send every pushbike we had in the company to Africa and then go out and buy enough new vans for every office across the nation, to accommodate their shared van philosophy?

"I've got a bike,
You can ride it if you like,
It's got a basket,
A bell that rings,
And things to make it look good.
I'd give it to you if I could,
But I borrowed it."

Wont do much for the environment when you have 2 miles of traffic sitting behind you as you pedal the thing along. Then the chaos created because its been stopped and parked in the road. Because you aint gonna get it on the path.
