After discussions think this may be the deal.
Getting vibes will be a Monday dropped (if any)

If true then Mondays would probably be just SDs and Tracked only

Getting vibes from where?
Is the reduction in the USO just being declared unilaterally without recourse to Ofcom/Parliament?
Is Terry now accepting the 20 000 job losses he announced would be lost by a reduction to the USO?
And what about our reps SA? Surely that is safe?

Nothing official just from what I'm seeing & sensing.
Might not be overnight but think groundwork may be being laid & IF going to drop uso I'm thinking Monday looking more likely now.

How are you getting these vibes ? Are you privvy to these discussions ? - If not, you are just making wild guesses and scare-mongering.

More rumours that help nobody.

as said, any USO reduction needs the go ahead from Ofcom/Parliament.

Said nothing official
We will just have to wait & see what happens officially but think major changes coming & I'm willing to put 50p down this may be one of them

Why Monday ?
Only one wave of sequenced on Monday
Easier to get people to work monday to cover parcels & specials
Major cut in weekend working at mail centres
Helps with levelling workload on a Tuesday

Surely it will be the Sat that will be dropped, with Saturdays mail carried over to Monday. Mail Mon-Fri packets only on Sat, like we were doing. No mail on Mondays doesn't make sense. Why would you do a packet only day when most people will be at work?

It’s Royal Mail. Joined up thinking isn’t their strong point.
