New Peugot Vans
Anybody finding that there is not much legroom in them.
I have been using one for two days now and legs are sore as I feel cramped up inside them. Seat back as far as I can get it and am still all hunched up. I am 6ft so god help anyone over that in one of these. Surely H&S were consulted before agreement to change to these vans (there again probably not)
I have more room in my own fiat panda than these things

Re: New Peugot Vans
You must be sitting incorrectly............ask your manager for the 'Sitting in the van safely' briefing and then everything will be fine

Better than that ask the World Class Mail Champion to instruct the safety pillar to draw you a little sketch of how you should sit properly in a Bipper.DGP1 wrote:You must be sitting incorrectly............ask your manager for the 'Sitting in the van safely' briefing and then everything will be fine
It will look a bit like this.

good times, bad times you know I've had my share

We just got 2 of them. The only thing I can say is they smell nice, that new car smell.
They look like this.

Re: New Peugot Vans
We have some Peugot Partners rather than the Bippers. They seem ok, better than the combos anyway.

Any of our Bippers that have been killed in action have been replaced by Partners.

Re: New Peugot Vans
All our Bippers have been given to self convey duties rather than the P & L duties they were meant for. You can't fit 2 deliveries in them with the trolleys and all the large packets 
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets
Illegitimi non carborundum

Re: New Peugot Vans
Our Combos aren't big enough for 2 duties, they are seriously talking about Transits for all our van sharesStormproof wrote:All our Bippers have been given to self convey duties rather than the P & L duties they were meant for.

It's difficult when you have one of the largest amounts of packets in the country but they still can't see it.
