Mail Rail (Post Office Railway) visit
In message , at 16:44:49 on Sun, 11 Mar
2018, Anna Noyd-Dryver remarked: - They told me that the rest of the railway is still owned and maintained by the Royal Mail. There is at least the theoretical possibility of the museum trains doing a longer circuit, perhaps to the next station, but there appear to be no current plans for such an expansion. It would obviously need Royal Mail's agreement, and there would be a significant costs. The current trains may not have the battery capacity for the extra distances involved. Problems include lack of emergency exits. From the site's FAQ: "Evacuation requirements mean that access to the Mail Rail train ride is restricted to those who are able to walk unaided on uneven terrain, in a confined space for up to 100m before climbing 70 steps to the surface." -- Roland Perry |
