The latest confirmed development in the surface mail tunnel is that a limited route trial starts with a dated sign at each affected junction. The update comes from the mail branch between Underway and Flint Ridge; the existing arrangement remains in force until the board closes this window.
Kip Copper, mail route correspondent, confirmed 69 sealed packets with a mark at both route transfers in the file. The previous window recorded 69; the totals do not settle how a sender checks a packet that changes hands between the tunnel and ridge routes.
The unresolved point is specific: The tunnel office counts a packet at dispatch. The ridge office counts it after the seal is checked. No final outcome has been posted before the scheduled decision.
Residents and staff continue under the current schedule while the review is open.
NEXT UPDATE: The Year second, deep rest window 1 file remains open for its scheduled decision. The next list will carry one seal mark from entry through final handoff. A fresh window will use a new date and source record.
