It is quite likely that Stampex will see some different Post & Go machines - maybe a repeat of the Hytec P&G from Spring Stampex.
And the 40g Faststamps don't seem to have appeared yet despite assurances that they would appear in August and all machines be converted by Stampex.
"Post and Go V2 is due to commence roll-out at the beginning of September to reach at least the ‘Birds’ network by the First Day of Issue of Birds 4 on 16th September." - see http://postagelabelsuk.com/?p=1208
Royal Mail have today indicated that following on from their trials of Hytech Postavision equipment at Spring Stampex 2011, they will issue a tribute to ‘Arnold Machin’ in the form of an overprinted set of Post & Go stamps at next weeks Autumn Stampex.
This overprint will be only available at Stampex, and will be applied on the existing ‘Machin’ Post & Go stock on one of two new Hytech Self-service Stamp Machines.
These new self-service machines will be situated on Royal Mails stand and will exclusively vend the new stamps, either singly or in the now familiar ‘strip of six’ format. Payment will only be possible via Credit or Debit card -the machines will not accept cash.
The machine numbers will be 91 and 92 (The ’9′ indicating September- self service machines No.1 and 2).
