Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Railways have been used for the carriage of mail since soon after the Liverpool & Manchester Railway opened in 1830, the development of the first travelling post offices following, enabling the Post Office to achieve maximum efficiencies in mail transportation. As the rail network grew the mail network grew with it, reaching a peak with the dedicated mail trains that ran between London and Aberdeen. The Post Office also turned to railways when it sought a solution to the London traffic that hindered its operations in the Capital, obtaining powers to build its own narrow gauge, automatic underground railway under the streets to connect railway stations and sorting offices. Although construction and completion were delayed by the First World War, the Post Office (London) Railway was eventually brought into use and was an essential part of Post Office operations for many years. Changing circumstances brought an end to both the travelling post offices and the underground railway but mail is still carried, in bulk, by train and a part of the railway has found a new life as the Mail Rail tourist attraction. Author Peter Johnson has delved into the archives and old newspapers to uncover the inside story of the Post Office and its use of railways to carry the mail for nearly 200 years.

EXTRACT FROM THE UNITED STATES MAIL, JULY, 1863. DISTBIBUTION. "At the late convention of special agents of the Post-Office Department, held at Cleveland, Ohio, the subject of letter distribution being under discussion, a paper was read from which we here make some extracts. They will no doubt be interesting as showing the origin, objects, and history of our distribution system. # * * * '* * * "In reference to many of the offices mentioned, distribution was discontinued while the mails were yet carried in stages; the delays and detentions were then being found prejudicial to the public interests. "As railroads were constructed and the mails carried upon them the evils of the system became more apparent, occasioning delays'of from twelve to twenty-four hours in correspondence and causing very loud and j ust complaint. "Since the completion of 24,000 miles of railway, now in operation and carrying the mails, many offices heretofore favorably located for distribution became mere way offices, the trains passing them with slight pauses only and thus largely increasing the evil of detention. ' The emoluments derived by postmasters at distributing offices consist of a commission on the letters distributed. Originally the commission was 5 per cent. on letter postage, paid and unpaid. This was afterwards increased by law to 7 per cent. and then to 12J percent., at which it now stands. It is obviously the interest of those having charge of such offices to increase business of this kind to the utmost, and though expressly forbidden by the Department to invite distribution from its legitimate channel, it has often been done and it is believed that the post-office revenue has in this manner been largely defrauded. Letters have been...

Book excerpt: The Post Office Railway, when it started running in 1927, was the first fully automated driverless railway in the world, a full forty years before the Victoria Line started service in London in 1967. The railway below London became the main means of moving mail, with Mount Pleasant being the hub of the distribution system. Linking with London's main line stations, most of the country's long-distance mail travelled via the Post Office Railway. The fascinating story of how it began, how it was built, and why it closed is told here in an accessible way that tries to cover a highly technical and innovative system in a way that is easy to understand. The railway closed in 2003, but that was not the end of the story. The Postal Museum took over part of the Mount Pleasant sorting office to tell the story of 500 years of postal history and to open Mail Rail again with specially built trains as a visitor attraction and the start of a whole new adventure. If you are a railway enthusiast, postal enthusiast, urban explorer, or just interested in finding out more about one of London's best-kept secrets, this book is a must read for you.
