Perhaps this might be one of the options with the 'In flight re-direction option' - as well as asking you to go to a business address on the other side of
town because 'I'm at work today' :d'oh! ...........

Can sort of see why RM are thinking along these lines. But half a dozen parcels or a dozen on a busier day(excluding Christmas obviously) is not going to free up time for an extra 70 or so calls per postie. Oh wait it's called lapsing, which we already do to take us over our time most days. And what about all them hours they have to find to take f-timers down to 35 hrs. Think most of job losses will be people jacking it in.

Not sure on that list either. Shows nothing north of Dundee. It's probably a bit much to expect Royal Mail to have a list of LAT offices.
