YO postcode area

The YO postcode area, also known as the York postcode area, is a group of 29 postcode districts in Yorkshire, England, within ten post towns. These cover most of Central and Eastern North Yorkshire (including York, Scarborough, Pickering, Selby, Thirsk, Malton, Filey and Whitby) and the northern part of the East Riding of Yorkshire (including Bridlington and Driffield). The rest of North Yorkshire is split between the TS, DL, LA, BD, HG, DN, LS and WF postcode areas. Mail for the YO postcode area is processed at Leeds Mail Centre, along with mail for the BD, HD, HG, HX, LS and WF postcode areas. In 1998, postcode districts YO2-YO6 covering the post town of York were given a second digit to overcome a shortage of available postcodes, and part of the YO1 district was moved into YO10. Some postcodes in the YO1, YO8, YO16, YO17 and YO25 areas were also changed. __TOC__
