ROYAL MAIL AT A STANDSTILL

[rolf]

Heard today that Edinburgh mail centre is about to close its doors as all mail being diverted to England for to be sorted, no collections, just cant clear the mail, anyone know of any truth in this.

[POSTMAN]

Will move this to the MC forum,they would know.

Heard the same..
I know they are struggling.
Our collection guys had to come back,empty the vans and go back out to finish last night.
The mail is pouring out the top of the boxes.

With more bad weather forecast for Scotland on Thurs & Friday, they may never want to open the doors again

I would'nt believe any RM manager if he told me the 25th DEC. was christmas day

Meltdown Reassuring to see that all our new modern methods can cope with age old problems

[baldrick]

Mail seems to be moving OK at Mount Pleasant, but I did hear that some diversions to
Jubilee Mail Centre were returned to MP as they couldn't cope with any more.

Can someone in senior management explain to me how this is happening, I mean, £2billion of investment must've meant loads of new machines to do the sorting .....................oh wait, I've just remembered all they did was take the existing machines and change the software


I wonder if any of our management will end up in the MOD to help them spend their money 'better'

I watched this too. He was asked a specific question: "How big is the backlog?". He never answered and neatly side-stepped the issue. Typical RM management - they are taught to be evasive..

TBH from what I've seen, the stuff we're getting in from mail centre is coming thru (more than the usual xmas) but from what I hear the SDC is full of packets. Including a couple of my presents for xmas :(

[twofaced]

I have been waiting for a tracked parcel and it has not moved from york for 3 days.Delivered mail into glasgow tonight and it was drop it on the tarmac at the loading banks as they were full up,also packets going straight into trailers and taken up to bathgate as glasgow cant take no more.Plenty of mail going in but not much coming out for delivery,are theese sorting machines not able to cope????

MC driver who come to pickup collections said Glasgow was storing mail wherever they can find space.

I went to drop off mail @ mc & asked a driver (he also does acting manager), he says it gettign sent to carlisile & further south to get sorted / stored. This was for both edinburgh & Glasgow.

ps if u see my wage slip from last week plz send it back. i need to tell rm i've been massively over paid last week but need to check the wage sllip first.
