Last rumour we heard was half IP stuff to CM, and half to PE.
And after a while, you can work on points for style,
Like the club tie, and the firm handshake,
A certain look in the eye and an easy smile.

You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to,
So that when they turn their backs on you,
You'll get the chance to put the knife in.

RM getting packet sorting machines is going to play a big part in what happens over the next few years. Smaller MCs won't have a hope in hell of fitting one in, I wonder if even the recent builds could fit one in without being extended.

My mate at Bristol MC says they have a FSM but the office is not big enough to hold a Parcel Sorting Machine.

PE to lose an iLSM (they'll be down to 3) - and a Packet sorting machine will take it's place.

Due to happen early 2015.

Do they have room for some of the stacker modules from the one to go to be bolted to the ends of the existing iLSMs (once the electrical box is moved further along?

Has anyone heard anything concrete about the approx footprint of the packet sorting machines that RM are going to go for?
