You are thinking of Daventry rail & freight superhub, that wont be online until mod 2023.

Alot of MC work has been shipped to the Milton Keynes parcel hub in order to keep it fed with work, it is at Magna Park and actually has a name like "Magnitude".
It is a massive 21 acre plant, not quite as big as the Warrington & Daventry sites but she's up there...a real beast........ that must be kept fed.

Check her out:

Magnitude 314 is currently occupied by Royal Mail and Parcelforce Worldwide

All these parcel machines in various forms throughout RM make me wonder if it's only a matter of time before RM look at getting parcels sorted down to walk level in PSMs in MCs

I think they have overestimated the much vaunted "explosion in parcels" very badly,
The pandemic lockdowns were a one off.

Now they are having to seize parcel work from MC's and ship them to these big hubs in order to keep them fed with work.
There has been no "explosion" in late night ordering and sending from "nearby retailers" they are all going bust :nana
