We used to have the Blue Spot parcels delivery service in smog hollow.
A couple of red rattler single decker emu motor cars converted into parcels vans.
Go like the clappers.
Sadly delivering parcels by rail was deemed too much of a waste of time and moolah.
Far better to have it dun by private road vehicle instead.
Capitalism, PHOOEY !
And, back up til the late 1980s we had the regional Mail Trains.
W 249 / 248 the west region eggspress parcels that ran in conjunction with W59 / 58 west mails.
NO, we didn't have the pouch hoop dingus to catch and drop off mail pouches on the fly.
But, there were letter posting slots in the side of the TPO (travelling post office) vans.
Travelling posties rattling along inside them TPO vans sorting the mail.
YES, it would be bonzer to see such services return to the metals here.
But, I doubt it.
Steve.
