My copy of Backtrack, not Key publishing but who knows what services are used by different companies, arrived today. It was due out on 19 November and has been on the newsstands for several days.

Modern Railways finally arrived today!
Whereas my MR arrived on time while TRE was a week late, and a weekly paper was 3 days overdue instead of the usual 1. Affecting all bulk mailings I think.

Are there delays at Royal Mail at the moment?

I had an email from Key advising to wait until 4 January before complaining about non-appearance of Modern Railways, which is published on Christmas Eve.
It seems to have been arriving nearly a week later in most months since Covid, but other post arriving here has been similarly late.

My January 2021 issue arrived today, earlier than expected.

Snap! Hopefully will be no more problems moving on.

Got mine yesterday too.
The electronic version came on line at 2am on Thursday Christmas Eve. Seems a bit strange for the printed version to be delivered two days before that.

It is quite normal for editing, printing and distribution deadlines to be brought forward by a few days, maybe even a week, at this time of the year. This allows for the disruption to deliveries, both of the post and of the newstrade’s own system, and the closedown at this time of the year.
