CSS Operators

[notts1862]

Hello all. A question to all css operators. When running the css we use blue cards and yellow separater cards. Now here at Nottingham mail centre they are doing away with the yellow cards and only using the blue cards. Any other css operators in other units that have done away with and not using yellow separater card. Thanks

You're supposed to use both but some think not using the yellow cards too makes it quicker and easier to tie up

The yellow cards are primarily for separation of sequenced & unsequenced mail in each walk. However,they can also be useful for helping to quickly locate the position(s) of any blue card(s).

I think that it would be even more helpful if the on-screen summary info at the end of each batch gave the position of ALL blue cards rather than just the missing ones; then, there would be no benefit at all in using any yellow cards.

We've not used the yellow cards for a few years now. It's very rare that we loose a blue card, normally only as a result of the machine rejecting mail that was behind the location of a jam
