Friday's, along with Saturday's, are already the heaviest days for Mech? I assume the Saturday Mech is just going to be delayed until Monday.

As far as the flat Tracked I did notice today that they did arrive in trays but they are then just sorted into the sorting bags in the usual manner, so no idea why they now arrive separately at the DO.

We do have a specific 1c sorting set up but it's never been used so to date!

If it's stuff that would hit the time limit on a Friday night, it'll be released on a Thursday night for Friday delivery along with anything that would have been released anyway on a Thursday.

I've no idea what it is all I know is to expect tomorrow to be the heaviest day of the week for the Mech.

Everyone's sequenced was in their trays sideways this morning, which is an indicator callrates have bottomed out for the week and DTS is going to release the usual avalanche tomorrow.
The machine stops.

Most of us if it's very small bundles for each walk, we band them up to save on trays.

It's going to be interesting to see if the ODM results in any changes to when the DSA companies present the work to RM to arrive at the Inward MC and be run on an iLSM/IMP and the knock-on affect of when a load of stuff is released by the DTS.
