The new Post Office has just two windows, plus a "parcels reception
desk". Normally they again have just two staff on duty. For whatever
reason the queues are now much shorter, although this may be a result
of them having institutionally dumped almost all the types of business
other than weighing and stamping letters and parcels.

Or because it is much more convenient for the majority of the population
to access Government services online rather than via the post office.
The future of the post office is in my view local shops able to offer
postal[1] services.

The Post Offices I see are still pretty busy places.
