Re: No more combo vans
Hopefully no one is crazy enough to drive a van that as returned from the workshop with a fault not fixed, and that it stays out of use and keeps getting sent back to the workshop until the workshop pulls their finger out and actually fixes the fault.Hitcher wrote: ↑19 Oct 2025, 10:05Very.SpacePhoenix wrote: ↑19 Oct 2025, 09:36How common is it for a van to return from the workshop with whatever fault not fixed?

Re: No more combo vans
It all depends what the fault is, not every fault makes a van not roadworthy. If it's the only van available on the day then I'd sooner use that van than deliver double mail, or even treble mail, the following day.SpacePhoenix wrote: ↑19 Oct 2025, 14:14Hopefully no one is crazy enough to drive a van that as returned from the workshop with a fault not fixed, and that it stays out of use and keeps getting sent back to the workshop until the workshop pulls their finger out and actually fixes the fault.Hitcher wrote: ↑19 Oct 2025, 10:05Very.SpacePhoenix wrote: ↑19 Oct 2025, 09:36How common is it for a van to return from the workshop with whatever fault not fixed?

Re: No more combo vans
Glasgow just got rid off them about 5 weeks ago. And yet the 2 posture who do my street still run about. It's pathetic.Dan jack wrote: ↑12 Oct 2025, 03:57My wife and I work in Wolverhampton office. On Saturday we had a huddle that they are scrapping or getting rid of the old combo vans. Saturday was the last day of using the old combo vans. They will be giving us newer vans. My wife has been driving the old combo van for over 20 years on her single round. So she was attached to it lol. I told her just relax and get use to the newer vans. She has no choice![]()
Our office still had about 4-5 old combo vans.
I Got a few questions
Does any other offices still use the old combo vans ?
What do they do with the old combo vans. Do they give em to a different office to use or scrap em or sell em ?
