You seem to think you know so much about what is going on at Swindon surely you don't need to ask on here?

If it's due to go live soon then i'd expect we'll see an article about it in the Courier

When its in full swing ..... Bristol packets would be diverted to SN for packet sorting machine process , our line manager said.

It said in the Courier that it's 60m long, how wide is it?

Heard the 20 packet machines can only sort all parcels in the lower volume months, and that for September to March sorting by hand will have to go on alongside the machine. This also allows for any loss of future business to tnt and dpd etc. Especially with the new tnt depot in Swindon.

Can the machine really be considered fit for purpose then?
