London's hidden underground railway

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.

Oh, what a shame!

I always thought that it was really cool.

Oh, no! Thanks for the links. Will be sure to point my trainspotter beloved at this later on.
