It’s a macho thing with a lot of posties, they don’t want to be seen with one. I will use one where necessary, I will drive around with a few packets to avoid using one if I can, but it’s not always possible as there’s too many.
Got called a trolley w@nker by a postie once!

I don’t see how you can use a trolley with all the steps

I tried use one of those trolleys where you attach a bag to each side during covid when we didn’t have enough vans to have one each

But it kept falling over when I was trying to get it up and down the steps on the estates

As for the houses with steps up to them (which is most of them) I just had to leave it unguarded at the bottom of the steps where you couldn’t see it after you’d gone through the gate

The only round that uses a trolley at our place is the town centre

Yorkshire is just not a trolley accessible area
