Royal Mail warns customers of fresh delays – full list of areas affected

Royal Mail has announced which postcodes across the country have been affected by postal delays this morning. The company has been experiencing a series of delays due to bad weather and staff shortages.

On its website, Royal Mail explained that it operates an air, rail, and road network to move letters and parcels between its distribution hubs, mail processing centres, and delivery offices around the UK.

Today, it has updated customers on how well these networks are operating. Its air network has been operating to schedule for the last 24 hours, but for one exception.

It said: “Due to a runway closure at Stansted Airport, some mail due to travel on flights to Belfast and Scotland left later than planned.

“As a result, some mail posted parts of the South of England and London, due for delivery in Northern Ireland and Scotland may arrive later than planned.”
