AFAIK MCs in England are in Saturday at 00:00. Anyone know if there will be any runs between MCs and RDCs or will we be just sorting whatever is already in the mail centre (could be a busy day on Saturday for DOs if we end up sending out a load of mailsort)?

Scotland will pay for it on Monday when they get through 2 days of stuff from England
