National Mail Centre - night excursion


We started our excursion with dinner, a birthday celebration and homeschool t-shirts for the kids


The mail centre was fully operational. We only got to see empty stations when we came in the morning on a previous trip.


Ean was only interested after he saw these boxes on tracks that reminded him of his trains.


The NMC staff provided us with shopping trolleys just in case our kids get tired.


Manual sorting


Machine doing the sorting


Han Koko helping Ean with his stamping


Explaining why certain letters get rejected and sent back to the sender.


Feeding in millions of letters daily


This machine sorts out letters accoording to postcode


Looking for our postcode in PD


More mail being brought in.


We spent 2hours in NMC, walking about its 4acre vicinity. This was one of the most educational visits I have been to. The staff were friendly and informative.
