LTB 033/25 - THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE 2025 NATIONAL NETWORK (LINEHAUL) REVISION AND NATIONAL PAD REVISIONS

No. 033/25


For the Immediate Attention of All: 


Divisional Representatives

Area Distribution Representatives

LGV Representatives


Dear Colleagues, 


THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE 2025 NATIONAL NETWORK (LINEHAUL) REVISION AND NATIONAL PAD REVISIONS


Branches and Representatives are informed that discussions have been taking place with the business in relation to progressing arrangements for the 2025 National Network (Linehaul) Revision activity and the 2025 National PAD Revisions.


Branches and Representatives are informed that unfortunately due to the ongoing resistance of the business to agree to Joint Statements we have not been able to secure the normal signed Joint Statement covering this activity. However, in line with the approach we have taken on other issues affected by this policy, we do however, have a letter from the business confirming the dates and the commitments to follow the established Nationally Agreed processes for this activity.    


This approach has today been endorsed by the Postal Executive and attached for the information of Branches and Representatives is the correspondence from Nick Dunn, National Distribution Director confirming the Royal Mail’s commitment to the established, agreed revision processes along with the detailed processes at Annexes A & B.


Additionally, the business has indicated the following will also be included or may influence the revision activity:

  • The inclusion of container tracking data, which will be reviewed as part of the working group activity prior to data being shared with the sites.

  • The current ongoing MPU programme may have an impact on Distribution duties. It is understood the timings of the two pieces of work may not align and it is understood the implementation of overlays/underlays prior to a PAD revision being implemented will take into account the impact of any CSS moves.

  • Transfer in financial year 25/26 of up to 14m large parcels (F4 and above) from the RM network to PFWW, this may be via direct from customer or MC/HUB in line with the BRT&G commitment to the development of a single large Parcel Network.


The business has also indicated they are reviewing agency use within the functions and they are looking to reduce this over the next few months, this activity is outside of the Revision process and is normal BAU activity.


As with the previous Network Review/PAD Joint Statements, the process fully recognises the role of the CWU at all levels and all activity will be overseen by the Network Working Group/Area Distribution Working Group.


Colleagues will note that the Stage 1 Data Gathering will commence on Monday 24th February 2025 across both functions and representatives are therefore requested to engage with management accordingly in relation to the activity and release arrangements.


Any enquiries in relation to this LTB should be addressed to Davie Robertson, Assistant Secretary, email: jrodrigues@cwu.org quoting reference LTB 033/25. 


Yours sincerely, 

Davie Robertson 

Assistant Secretary
