I recently did a delivery that was two duties stuffed together on one frame, the slots were thinner than usual slots and, you guessed it, they were all doubles. So d2ds physically don't fit on that frame so I had to take out bundles of d2ds with me and merge. Absolute nightmare, I don't see how anyone anywhere could think it was a good idea.

You jest but ................... LTB 469/16 OMP Terms of Reference : New Delivery Methods Trial (Small Pouch) http://www.royalmailchat.co.uk/communit ... 15&t=75826" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Branches will be aware of the ongoing trial in Walsall DO and Royal Mails insistence on the use of a delivery vest to support the outdoor operation
At least the union stamped on this idea,with an all too rarely seen assertiveness,and killed it at inception,shame they can't do it for other stuff.
