Royal Mail Delays Postal Changes, Faces Fine

Royal Mail delays second-class Saturday deliveries rollout until early 2026, following trials in 35 delivery offices. The company faces a £21 million fine from Ofcom for failing to meet delivery targets, with new enforceable backstop targets set at 99% of post delivered within two days of its scheduled date. Despite challenges, Royal Mail reports a 1.5% increase in revenues, driven by a rise in parcels business, and plans to hire 20,000 temporary staff and add 7,000 vans for the Christmas period.
