No, they'll be retaining a couple of them in the National Postal Museum.

Most of our deliverys are done by cycle's we have the panniers on them also , though we are loaded up I still prefer
to use them as appose to the HCT ,

I like that a driver has to drop our bags off so its another job for a postie, as for Health and safety I don't have to walk with a bag on my back like I use too in the old days,

Our Dim Dom stated a while back that the bikes will have to go, so we will wait and see

Most walking posties do not see the work that the driver has to do or the time span in which do that job as well as been messed about on a day to day basis but it is not a boring job but can get to much at times for some and you will never finish early but you cannot be made to drive if you do not need the hassle or responsibility!.

I had been a driver on RM when I first started 20 yrs ago and done most driving duties across all functions, for 12yrs, So I have seen how hard they drive but also seen the lazy one's also like on delivery, but it is all about try to keep duties ,

Well the real lazy ones become managers as you well know but since we all will be driving soon good luck and all the best!.

It's total bull s**t,but handy to have,especially for our cycling colleagues who could possibly get stitched up.

This is how I see the discussion taking place

Ok, to further modernise RM we are getting rid of those nasty, old fashioned bicycles, and bringing in bright, shiny & pretty vans - so I'm sure you'll all be very happy with that, won't you?

I'm not happy - vans are more expensive, both to run and in carbon emissions, more likely to break down and more likely to cause insurmountable problems when they do break down!"

Oh, that's a shame....anyway, I've got £2M to start counting, don't forget to pick up your keys & fill in your log books. Anything else, no? Ok, end of discussion.
