Olympics Bulletin Update - Surcharge Table
We are committed to providing you with regular updates on our Olympics Action Plan. We have now concluded our operational planning and can confirm that in order to maintain our high level of service, Interlink Express will need to make an additional investment of £1.3million in our network.
We cannot absorb all of this cost and have introduced an Olympic surcharge of £1.95 for each consignment delivered into those postcode areas where there is extended disruption within the Olympic congestion zone.
View our Surcharge Table below, which details all postcodes to which the surcharge applies. We have done everything possible to keep the surcharge to an absolute minimum.
| Area | Postcode |
| E | 1, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 13, 15, 16, 18, 20 |
| EC | 1, 2, 3, 4 |
| NW | 1 |
| SE | 1, 3, 10, 11, 13, 18 |
| SW | 1 |
| W | 1, 2 |
| WC | 1, 2 |
The surcharges will be levied between 13 August and 8 September.
The £1.3million has been invested to ensure that we maintain services within the Olympic congestion zone area, with the following actions now in place:
- opening an additional facility near our London Bridge depot before commencement of the Games
- increasing the number of vehicles operating within the Olympic Zone
- providing drivers with assistants who will make the final delivery on foot where necessary (this will not apply to 'lockdown venues')
- introducing early AM deliveries and late PM deliveries
- increasing the number of depot/customer service staff to enable customers to collect their parcels
- appointing an Olympic Specialist in all affected depots, who will coordinate our action plan
Please note that we will be unable to access certain 'lockdown venues', since they will be closed to all general traffic. Click here for information on deliveries into the 'lockdown venues'
