I'm still waiting to hear how we'll all keep our own duties even though all our frames have now been marked blue or pink meaning that they'll only go out on alternative days, which suggests just 1 postie will now cover 2 duties when the changes are eventually introduced.
That way you did stay on the same duty I suppose the theory would work for both van share and singleton although I reckon some of our resident heroes would still try to clear everything.
Its making the duties bigger but a van share would still work together doing the same two bigger duties - just instead of one duty being only 1st class and tracked it'd be half of one being rotated
The people who's walks they carve up to add onto everyone else, like the last revision, would lose their duty though

Then thank whatever higher power you might believe in that you don’t have to suffer van share. Shittest way of working ever thought up by the business.A2B wrote: ↑25 Sep 2025, 18:43And if you have no van shares?Acca Dacca wrote: ↑25 Sep 2025, 18:38

Double Decker would be unsafe. Instead you have 2 HCTs, push one and pull one behind you using a harness. Double the capacity and stops the need for refills.A2B wrote: ↑25 Sep 2025, 19:04I haven't seen the double decker HCT variant yetted_e_bear wrote: ↑25 Sep 2025, 18:53You have a big oversized singleton and the same script applies.A2B wrote: ↑25 Sep 2025, 18:43And if you have no van shares?Acca Dacca wrote: ↑25 Sep 2025, 18:38
