Why do we need a new sorting office?
It will enable mails to pass quickly between the new sorting office and the railway subway system which leads to the station platforms.
The outbuildings in question will be evacuated next week to make room for the new sorting office to be erected on the site.
We plan to provide new public office facilities, as well as a modern sorting office, a postal garage and workshop.
I stood in the new sorting office in well ventilated, spacious surroundings.
So the usefulness of the new sorting office really does depend on the subway.
It has been said that it is the largest postal sorting office in the world, which, indeed, it is.
It is hoped that a new sorting office will be available by 1970.
