Post and Go in central London - any Wincor-Nixdorf left?
A correspondent has been looking at various blog posts about the change from Wincor-Nixdorf Post and Go machines to NCR Self Service in London, and can't find the answer to this question.
Can anybody tell me whether there are any Wincors left - starting from Islington (Stampex) and working through the central London area?
Best guess, Holloway on Wednesday & Thursday, office being relocated on 23rd, so won’t have machine Friday or Saturday, if other relocations are anything to go by.
Wincor kiosks left in the London area (all correct up until the last fortnight when all have been checked) are Balham, Albemarle Street, Baker Street, Clapham High Street, Great Portland Street, Aldwych, Holloway Road, Broadway, Knightsbridge, Kensington, Junction Road, Wood Green, Finchley Road, Farringdon and Tudor Street. Holborn is due to go NCR on the 17th September so Wincor kiosks will be withdrawn prior to this, and Neasden Tesco is long term sick (or forgotten !!!!!!) Of the above list Balham and Holloway Road are due for relocation so change to NCR unlikely here with Albemarle Street closing this month. Recent London conversions to NCR are Harrow, Shepherds Bush and Kings Walk, if anyone can update this list it would be appreciated.
Holloway relocation details now to hand, the new branch will open at above address at 09:00 on the 25th September with the current branch closing 17:30 the previous day. New branch is within 400 metres.
For those coming up to London for Wincor an update to the list above is Aldwych, Knightsbridge and Broadway are now NCR. Great Portland Street is due to go live on the 16th October. Holloway has Wincor kiosk installed but still not commissioned. Although delayed Holborn has had Wincor withdrawn so NCR imminent. Baker Street, Clapham and Junction Road have building work well under way although Baker Street is suspended due to noise problems for the residents living in the flats above. Offices not checked recently are Balham, Finchley Road, Neasden and Wood Green.
Further conversions to NCR have now reduced Wincor in the Capital to a handful. Wood Green has been NCR for some time and recent conversions are Great Portland Street and Junction Road. Kensington (of poppy fame) has had Wincor withdrawn so NCR is imminent there. I am sure it is not official but from todays observations it seems if a Wincor goes defective it is not been given priority for repair with Farringdon Road and also 2 of the 3 kiosks out of service at both Tudor Street and Clapham out of service. The kiosk at Holloway is showing a Windows start up fault as it did two weeks ago, not checked were Finchley Road and Balham.
