Explained in plain English
How does Royal Mail work?
Royal Mail is the UK's designated universal postal service provider, meaning it aims to deliver letters and parcels nationwide six days a week. When local issues like staff sickness arise, as mentioned in the story, they must adapt by rotating deliveries to minimise disruption and maintain service standards.
