London's hidden underground railway

posted by [personal profile] sbisson at 04:50pm on 08/11/2002
The Post Office's automated underground mail railway is likely to close after 75 years.

One of the secrets hidden under the streets of London, the Mail Rail railway carries letters along a 37km route from Paddington to Whitechapel, stopping at various sorting offices on its journey. It's also London's only operating narrow gauge railway...

It'll be a sad loss.
Mood:: 'disappointed' disappointed

Oh, what a shame!

I always thought that it was really cool.

One thing I love about doing LJ entries like that one is the hunting down appropriate links. Sometimes I hide them so that what might look like one line is in fact several (I'm working my way up to the "every letter in this sentence is a seperate link" goal slowly...).

Yet another engineering classic goes down the, erm, tube.
Remember that bit where Croup and Vandemar chase the guy and run him over in the train?
Let the world of Neverwhere mourn its loss of a free ride!
