How these figures are worked out
- Everything is a total or an average across all logged routes. No single route, customer or address is shown.
- Dates are given to the month. Clock times are never published, only how long each part of the day takes.
- Pace uses the time on the road, from leaving the depot to the last drop. The working day runs from leaving home to getting back.
- Return reasons are grouped into standard categories; anything else is counted as "Other".
- Sections appear once there is enough data to be fair: three timed days for the working day, five returns for the reasons.
- Figures are refreshed within fifteen minutes of a new route being logged.
