Hello everyone, hope you are all keeping well!
Just a couple questions regarding the Leeds sites.
I have been selected to work at Leeds Sorting Centre (LS9 7DX) as per my offer, but in the letter it is referred to as the "Mail Centre", but on the vacancy on the RM website it's referred to as the Sorting Centre. Just confused as to which it is? Is it a smaller site? Never worked here before unfortunately so I'm not too sure! Also, it seems to be completely missing from Google Maps/any other online map service so not sure what to expect. Anyone worked here before?
Also, the Timeline online induction service said I'd receive my welcome/starter pack shortly nearly two weeks ago, but I'm yet to get it and I'm due to start soon. Does anyone know how long they take to arrive?
Thank you!

Hi mate, hope you're well :)
Thank you, I already had the postcodes! Was just looking for some clarification regarding which sites are actually which as the LS9 one has been referred to as the Sorting Centre and the Mail Centre and if there's any major difference between the two sites, so I know what to expect on my first day!
Thank you for your time!

Re: Leeds questions
Leeds Mail Centre is a permanent site. Leeds sorting Centre is a temporary outhouse of the mail centre.
What may have caused your confusion is that the press and public tend to say Sorting Offices when they mean Delivery Offices.
There won't be any major differences in the work between the two as one is really just an extension of the other.

We need to intervene before it's too late, reducing working hours and the load carried by workers, because it's impossible to sustain the rhythm they're forced to work at for many years."

Do you happen to know anything regarding the welcome packs? Still not arrived in this morning's post and I'm only concerned I won't have any other important information before my start date. According to the Timeline site it should have arrived nearly two weeks ago now!

Re: Leeds questions
My pal’s “welcome pack” was just a letter confirming his payroll number and asking him to send a copy of his P45 from his last job to make sure he’s on the right tax code, anything important like your ID badge you’ll get at your induction.
