Hiya Pompey Boy theres a LTB out on Ipswich MC being retained as a IVO. Not sure if its too late for you guys but its something to think of if it isn't. The Outward work is still going but maybe RM is realising that these final closures the logistics will not be workable or viable

I've not heard of an "IVO" before, what's it an abbreviation for?

A short-term fudge to keep the union happy while alternative plans and arrangements are put in place. The spares are rapidly running out for the Ipswich mech. I'd give it a year or so and RM will announce that IP will reduce to MPU status.

What mech does IP have that spares are such an issue?

Probably MTTs and LSMs. Most MCs that had them have probably either been closed down or gotten iLSMs

So how much of the current portsmouth centre will become redundant when it reduces to a MPU?
