We beat our record last night by a massive amount for the total number of items run across all our CSS machines.

We don't turn our DTS off, we're not allowed to. If the sequencing is wrong then the relevant person at your DO needs to pull their finger out and make sure that all the data in Route Planner is up to date.

So I need to tell my "COMS" to stop being so lazy and incompetent? Gotcha, I'll just go and do that for the 4 millionth time and everything will be hunky dory as of next week, thanks for the sage advice SP :wink:

Please can you explain to me what CSS means, what it does and how is it different to the DST machine?

It's the walk sorting machine.

It's the walk sorting machine.
Which machine is the one that chucks every single item for every postcode into the same yorks?

Specials, small packets, oversize, letters you name it, all in one, none if it is even vaguely sorted.

Probably a packet sorting machine, not all MCs have got one. We pull out any specials that we see and they go over to the SD locker. Large get pulled out and go over to the large setup. If it's a direct york from a superhub, we don't touch it, it gets wheeled straight from the bay the artic arrives on to the bay for the run to whatever DO it is.

It's farcical having the Specials signed out of the locker all secure like it's the nuclear codes when in reality they were fished out the packet yorks that morning. I thought the whole point was they ran parallel and segregated through the network until merging with the other mail streams at the final mile.
The machine stops.
