Post Office turns against rail. 'Catastrophically late' first class mail may be moved back to road or air
The Post Office last night threatened to remove first class mail from rail and put it on the roads or even in the air because of a failure by the rail industry to help deliver millions of first class letters on time.
The PO said it would take action unless the situation dramatically improved. Most of the 8m first class letters carried by rail each day are “catastrophically late” and there is little sign of improvement.
