Has anyone in any other del office heard about this .Apparantly its a computer program that mimics your round and tells how long it should take and changes your round so that you do it more econmicly.We have been told it comes in october and that all rounds will have more calls and theres NOTHING we can do about it as it is being used nationally.
Anyone else know of this system ?
Is it national?
How does it work?
Many thanks

Ive actually been on the course and have been implementing it in my local office. Its a part of my cadet duty . All the walks are coming out in my area for around 3.40. No idea about the rest of the country but Most of the SA area have been getting this ready for months !

We have had it imposed on us for a few months now. Make sure CWU has input or you can be stuffed as are in some cases.

delivery span should still be 3 hour 30 min with 15 min allowed to get to your first drop and 15min to get back to your office from your last drop.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Well ours aren't 20 miles away but they are about 8/9 miles away in rural areas where buses are only every hour - and out of 80 walks - 45 would be rural though not as far or as hard to get to/from - but nevertheless a stupid plan. Even most town deliveries would be pushed to complete their delivery under this system.

I'm in same office and we cover a very large area bus can take 30 - 35 minutes to get out to walks.
