Quotes

'More parcels' 'Then there's the whole environmental argument about vans and congestion in towns.' A spokesman for Royal Mail said: "It is certainly not a straightforward switch to vans for those postmen and women who currently use bicycles. 'The changes will also result in a number of other benefits - as we deliver fewer letters but more packets and parcels than we did in the past. 'The switch to vans and trolleys will enable us to take the weight off staff's backs and we can reduce cycling accidents involving our staff. 'We can eliminate the need to send out older, more polluting vans to replenish postmen and women by sending out all the mail, including parcels and special delivery, in one go.'"
