Hidden under the streets of London was a secret underground railway that took mail across the capital. It's no longer used and has been converted so you can ride on it and explore some of the history as part of the interactive and fun Postal Museum. It's well worth a visit!

Morning. Lostwithiel now, where there is a whole host of GWR paraphernalia in evidence as a DMU arrives and parcels are barrowed. It is sometime in the long hot summer of 1976. 📷 ©️ MailRail. Click the link to see their Flickr selections.

Long-held wish fulfilled: I finally rode on London's underground #MailRail (in service 1927-2003), at The Postal Museum. These trains once kept London's postal service moving, running 22 hours a day, with just 60 seconds at each stop to load and unload mail...

It's like it's trying to be 3 or 4 different films, there's got to be a good podcast episode out there on whatever happened! A film for fans of the London mailrail though

Vid from my ride on a 2 foot gauge #MailRail under London… just another thing that electronic communications put out of business. The #PostalMuseum = must see!
Side note, the challenges faced by CBDs today are really the long slow decline of the paperwork economy, upon which proximity was king.

Hey rail nerds, did you know the first driverless rail happened thanks to London mail getting stuck in traffic on surface streets?? They dug out miles of tiny tunnels and hurtled mail underground at 30-40mph on tiny trains for decades. Here’s a teaser! Visit #ThePostalMuseum and hitch a ride!!

A visit to London's Postal Museum is a fascinating exploration of postal history - and it is combined with a ride through hidden tunnels on a very small train... #postalmuseum #mailrail #london #londonmuseum #bgtw @travwriters.bsky.social
