If you've got 25 SDs for around town there is no efficient way no matter what you do,the majority of duty get three or four tops on most days.

What if your partner/kids now work from home and your house is effectively an office during the day?
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

There's a Network Review in the Autumn, your guess is as good as mine as to what affect it'll have on arrival times into inward MCs. My gut feeling is that in many cases arrival times will be later, having a knock-on affect on dispatch times to DOs

Those of us who have a season ticket, I oh by the way your finish time is now 4 pm!

Foxtrot Oscar!
Our rurals have been 4pm finish for 3yrs now!
Yes and the people who WANT to work that shift will pick a rural in a resign

We have hybrid duties that start and finish later too - but they are chosen not allocated
If you tolerate this, then your paid break will be next

Most dutys only get 3 or 4 average its not really that difficult to just change your bag priority to accommodate.
Following our revision, on my shared duty, we had Thursday 9 SD, Friday 13 SD and Saturday 11 SD. Changing bag priority wouldn’t make any difference

It’s inevitable I’m afraid and it will soon be starting at 8 most days, maybe it will be phased in but we have 3 new recruits and 2 agency guys who do 9-3 which they are very happy with, they also do ot if can until regularly 6 o’clock, let’s face it we are changing it’s just a matter of time, if people don’t like it they will probably just say leave as they clearly don’t want long term staff anymore
