London South is pretty much closed - mail transferred to Jubilee and Croydon.
Jubilee also covers GU.

No all the SW1-20 inward still remains as does the SE1-28 inward. These are of course the biggest percentage of worklaods in a mail centre. Most of the outward has gone but the inward is still a major problem for Royal Mail especially as they cannot attract anyone to Jubilee.

Isn't most of that done at North Midlands MC at Wolverhampton....

Think it also does most of the B, WV, WS, ST, SY, TF codes as well...
And after a while, you can work on points for style,
Like the club tie, and the firm handshake,
A certain look in the eye and an easy smile.

You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to,
So that when they turn their backs on you,
You'll get the chance to put the knife in.

I thought North WEST Midlands Mail Centre at Wolverhampton did just WV, WS, ST and DY.
Does Shrewsbury MC do TF as well as SY ?

Don't all the Mail Centres do SFA?
If the climate was a bank, they would already have saved it.

I stand corrected....

North West Mids MC DOES do WV, WS, ST & DY
Shrewsbury MC does SY, TF and I think another code as well?

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Heard from one of our drivers that CB is rumored to be going to Hemel....

My understanding is CB to Peterborough and IP to Norwich. Hemel is too far away to take CB and couldn't cope with the traffic.
