So, what is Mail Rail's ultimate fate, then?

It deserves a new use.

The Tower Subway started off with a small cable car, then became a footway,
which closed when Tower Bridge opened. It was then used for hydraulic power
mains, and water mains were also put through it. After the London Hydraulic
Power Company closed (in 1977) it was used for fibre optic cables.

Could be used to help redistribute 'Boris bikes' to different docking
stations around central London.

(I only throw that in there for the potential amusement factor lest
Bozza finds himself racking his brain for a new use for it, and coming
up with that as his latest wheeze...)

Otherwise, rubber dinghy rapids.
