A train derailment in Western Australia has resulted in rail services being unable to reach Perth. Letters and parcels sent to Perth from the eastern States from Tuesday 1 December have been impacted, as have letters and parcels sent from Perth to the eastern states from Thursday 3 December.
We have worked hard over the weekend to transfer as many parcels as possible to trucks and this work will continue this week as we explore all opportunities to minimise the impact for customers.
Express Post items will be sent by air and delivered on time however, customers should expect delivery delays for other items sent to or from Perth and the Eastern States.
At this stage, we are advised that rail services are expected to resume Thursday 10 December.
We apologise for any inconvenience.
