Post office railway reuse
In message , "

It is a shame, though, that it hasn't been put to some good use since its closure. Any potential excursions for the public? A miniature underground heritage line in the middle of central London could be a marvellous tourist attraction, even if passengers don't get to see much out of the window. IIRC, the railway was never used by postal employees for transport purposes. No, but it did have a carriage with seats for VIPs, hauled by a battery loco. I have a feeling George V got a ride, and certainly John Noakes did for Blue Peter some time in the 1970s. I don't know if any really serious track bashers ever posted themselves in large cardboard containers to try to do the line. -- Paul Terry |
