Delivery Update

Friday 17 December 2021


Movement of mail through our network

Royal Mail operates an air, rail and road network to move letters and parcels between our distribution hubs, mail processing centres and delivery offices around the UK. Here we let you know about any significant issues in our logistics operation.

Air
Our air network operated to schedule over the last 24-hours.

Rail
Last night, technical issues delayed the arrival of a train carrying mail from Warrington Rail Terminal to the Scottish Distribution Centre. As a result, some mail posted in other parts of the UK yesterday, due for delivery today in parts of Scotland, may arrive later than expected.

Road
Our road network operated to schedule over the last 24-hours.
