A ride on the driverless railway that carried London's post underground.

One of the platforms, the indicator boards still up.

In Postal Museum.

From 1927 the Post Office ran its own miniature electric railway 21 metres under the city, moving four million letters a day without a single driver. You ride a small train through part of the original tunnels, stopping at the abandoned platforms for a projected history. Fifteen minutes on the train, and the museum above is included.
