Royal Mail Train 2018
On what is for me thee coldest day of the year,we are about to go see the Mail Train.
This part is the museum section of which we will see at the end of this tour.
No idea as to what this was used for,but it sure looked like a platform to work from.
Pretty old looking control panel.
Our first glimpse of the Train..it didnt used to look like this!
Ducting plus bus bars adorn the ceiling.
Some written advice for the lesser abled person.
We wait in line for our train.
This short video shows the train returning from the previous tour.
Wonder what is behind those bars?It is the museum which we will see after the ride.
Of course,these trains never even had drivers..this has been designed to take us fee paying passengers...I must say that they have done a brilliant job.
The rear end of the train.
Before the seats were added,all these compartments would have held sacks of mail.
This train is now facing down the track ready to leave.
Come on then..load up please..
Tunnel entrance.
Ready for the off...
This is a video showing us leave the platform.
I am not a big person but my head touches the roof of the little carriage.
I pressed the wrong button so this is too short..sorry!
You cannot take many still shots whilst riding the train as it only stops a few times to show films.
I twist to look behind me,and I see the battery compartment of the train.
I really think the team here have done a superb job with these very informative films.
After alighting the train,we are sent toward the museum part beginning with this static display.
