Re: Delivery method
Edited my reply ;
You've described nearly what was proposed as per all the information available before people voted it in.
It should be as you say but
Singleton duty
Duty 3 2/3 everything
Duty 4 2/3 first class and pkts
Thanks trams for pointing out my mistake I didn't read it properly

Re: Delivery method
That's not correct. It's 4 bags heavy, 4 bags light for all three. The pair do all of duty 1 (heavy), duty 2 is everything that's needs to be done that day (light). They also take 1/3 of duty 3 (heavy) and a 1/3 of duty 4 (light). The person on their own takes the rest of duty 3 (heavy) and the rest of duty 4 (light).hans solo wrote: ↑Today, 10:34Hi martin

On the day the light duties will only receive what needs to go. The workload will start to build after day two as on day three the deferred work will need delivering.

It's not nor is it what's been agreed. All three do 4 bags heavy, 4 bags light.ted_e_bear wrote: ↑Today, 11:28You've described exactly what was proposed as per all the information available before people voted it in.
(It's the same amount of work for the pairing and the singleton everyone does 2/3rds everything and 2/3rds parcels/1c from the total of the 4 duties but obviously singleton is probably more appealing for most people)
Edit...not to be confused with rural type singletons they do 50/50 of only their own duty everything/parcels+1c then having spare time they'll come and help you.

Re: Delivery method
Thanks for pointing out my mistake I didn't read it properly, edited my original reply, I think I got sidetracked by the singleton doing 2/3rds of both aspects for two duties, here's the graphic if it helps anyonetramssirhc wrote: ↑Today, 14:56It's not nor is it what's been agreed.

Re: Delivery method
How does the driver make the non driver do anything?
Does the non driver not have a pair?
