Delivery and collection services will take place across the UK today.


Movement of mail through our network
Royal Mail operates an air, rail and road network to move letters and parcels between our distribution hubs, mail processing centres and delivery offices around the UK. Here we let you know about any significant issues in our logistics operation.

Air
Our air network services operated to schedule over the weekend.

Rail
Our rail network services operated to schedule over the weekend.

Road
Our road network services operated to schedule over the weekend, with two exceptions:

Road closures on the M1 delayed a vehicle travelling from our Home Counties North Mail Centre to our National Parcel Hub. As a result, some mail posted in the AL, EN, HP, LU, SG and WD postcode areas, due for delivery in other parts of the UK, may arrive later than planned.

Heavy traffic delayed a vehicle travelling from our Princess Royal Distribution Centre (London) to our Plymouth Mail Centre. As a result, some mail posted in other parts of the UK, due for delivery in the PL postcode area, may arrive later than expected.


Mail Centres
All our mail centres reported mail was processed and despatched to schedule over the weekend.



Deliveries Today
Deliveries are operating as normal across the UK today. We aim to deliver to all addresses we have mail for, six days a week. In a small number of local offices, this may temporarily not be possible due to local issues such as high levels of sick absence, resourcing, or other local factors. In those cases, we will rotate deliveries to minimise the delay to individual customers. We also provide targeted support to those offices to address their challenges and restore our service to the high standard our customers would normally receive.

We will regularly update customers on the offices most impacted here:

Hailsham DO (BN27)
Hendon DO (NW4)
Kingswood DO (BS15 and BS30)
Wootton Bassett DO (SN4 and SN16)

"Employers are always seeking more productivity from workers, without considering the human factor, the worker's age, the weather conditions and the intense heat. 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."
