Starbursting?

Post by deanomac83 »

It's happening at an office nearby to me. Any thoughts?

I remember seeing an office in Courier starbursting but I haven't heard if such DOs have moved to P&L (which is essentially mini-starbursting).
The machine stops.

So the new vans are lying idle due to a lack of drivers?
And they are using crew buses?
How do the loops work? They can't can they?
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

It was worse than that it was in the Voice and only last november.

TEAM WORKING WORKS
Bill Lack, Hayley Adams, Chris Cregan and Craig Newman are the four members
of Bow DO’s "Starburst West Team" and Hayley has a particular reason for
favouring this system.
"I like starburst because working as a team gives security," the postwoman explains, "and just a couple of weeks ago, I was glad to have the others close by when a man started following me on my round - it happened a few times and it began to worry me a bit."But the situation was nipped in the bud when the team got together and, backed by their manager, reorganised the duty so Hayley delivered to different streets. "If I’d been on my own I might have had problems, but, having the others close by was reassuring - I knew I had them
watching my back," she adds. Chris, Craig and Bill all give starburst the thumbs-up too, Bill pointing out that the system takes weight off the shoulder and gets mail delivered consistently and efficiently


So four guys with...i take it four or thereabouts duties,the packets for four duties,the tracked and the specials for four duties...in,i take it a crew bus that has to have a seperate and secure load space....
I'm not buying it. :whistle
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

Yep, that was the article. Speaks for itself that I got it confused with Courier :wink:
