Because we'll all have massive changes in a few months?

USO likely to be changed 2nd half of this year. Probably more hassle than it’s worth to do a revision before that just for it to last a few months. Maybe some common sense from RM for a change.

Once the USO has changed then there could well be realignments, revisions and re-signs at every RDC, MC and DO

no point in signing for a run when everyone will effectively not have a fixed route.

I had heard from a reputable source that revision work was being halted. I'm uncertain if the comment about the finances was serious.

Even if the USO is altered this year, they said it would take over a year to implement the necessary changes.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Aye, I believe they said something about creating a more efficient network with a net reduction in daily delivery routes of 7,000 to 9,000 over the course of around 18-24 months

Can't find the source for this unfortunately

That old chestnut again, is it one or two weeks until the money runs out this time? :crazy:

I don't know the scope of 'finances' - it may have been meant regionally. I can't really elaborate without getting into revealing specifics.

They are due to run pilots in 37 offices uk wide to look at the effect the uso change would have and how it would work. Should this run smoothly, I would assume once a uso change is confirmed, this could be implemented pretty quickly, so pointless doing revisions now.
