The number of batches sequenced will the the same on a Sunday as what it would be any other night. What might vary is how many waves of sequencing, some MCs and MPUs might on a Sunday sequence it in a single wave

In my MPU we sequence 14 batches on 2 machines, same as every night, but it is done in one wave. Of the 3 duties, 2 are covered by SA and they finish 2 and a half hours earlier than the third duty holder, who cleans both machines and usually preps a delivery as well to fill his attendance time.

With the drop in mail volumes we are now running midnight to approx 05.00, we were running midnight to 06.00.
