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?
