<p>It think it’s because the bulk of the postcodes covered are in N8. There are just a handful of streets in N4 (Warham down to Endymion) it takes in. I think the N4 bit around Hermitage Road might come under a different office too but might be wrong.</p>
<p>Most of N4 comes under a different office entirely, so if they listed N4 the good folk of Finsbury Park, Stroud Green and Holloway would get in a flap</p>

<p>This is a useful article, but it is unclear why it has Hornsey (N8) on the list for disruption, but not N4, which as I understand also comes from the Hornsey delivery office.</p>
<p>Does the Hornsey office deliver to N4, and if so do they have a special fast-track system for N4 post which means it is not delayed like N8 post, or is it just that N4 isn't worth mentioning on the list of disrupted postcodes?</p>

<p>Spoken to my lovely Posite. They are still desperately trying to catch up. Post is still stacked up waiting to be sorted, some of it at the back can't even be accessed as so much is stacked in front of it. I had letter post last Sunday (a pile of Christmas cards - yay!) and again today, but packets and parcels are probably going to be longer to filter through. As others have said, those out delivering are doing everything they can to get the post to us, but the bottle neck is where is was in…</p>
