About 10 years ago my family and I stayed in a holiday cottage in Ballater. The cottage backed onto the delivery office, if you can call it that. It was nothing more than 3 men in a shed. So personally I think the car park is a step up.

There appears to be trays of what is, presumably, walk sequenced mail.

It's packets and pre-sorted mail so there will be letters to take from boxes, tie-up and put into bags.
