No sorry. These aren't conversions. These class 325's were purpose built & designed by ABB /Adtranz at Derby for Royal Mail, in 1995-1996. There are 16 four car sets, some which are in store when Royal Mail pulled the plug on using the railway's a few years back ( Big Mistake that by RM ) . There are a few now back in service & in use with GBRF for Royal mail again. Cheers.
I ABOSULUTELEY agree with everyone that the mail should back on the railway, and off the road, its much more reliable as well as great and it would be more eco friendly too. cool vid!
Many thanks Simon, & hear hear Mail back on the rail, it makes more sense. You know what they say every thing goes in circles,here's hoping they will. Cheers
Indeed mate.Lets hope one day mail all goes back totally to using the rails.If this government of ours wants this country to be more green then mail back on the rails would be a very good start.Cheers
Thank you Howard.I absolutely agree with you, just think how many more vehicle's they would get off the roads if they did go back to the rails totally.Cheers & kind regards.
