Its a shame that what is in effect a national asset has gone to waste. Given
the traffic situation in London there must be some business case for it.

I was thinking more in-city style deliveries. It must take a van about an hour

Now that it is up and running again I think it should be renamed the Queen Elizabeth Post Office Railway.

It'd be a bit late but I think The George V Line would be more appropriate.

I'll likely visit sometime in the autumn.

Has anybody here ever ridden the line in its entirety? It doesn't have
