Under the streets of London lies a system for mail delivery to post offices in the heart of the city. It was operational until 2003

Privatisation is bad... because its much better enforcing the monopoly of a particular service industry and thus driving it into the ground because no competition is allowed (competition is also a bad thing).

feel the pan flutes!

nice to mention chicago. Mail Rail is unique because it was automated, it was used for mail and run for a very long time.
Chicago was man-driven and a totally different system but also unique because the grid shape infrastructure. those two you simply can't compare
-
The commentary is totally incorrect about this system being unique. See: Chicago_Tunnel_Company the same system that flooded out when they punched a pile thru it and connected it with the Chicago river.

Surely that's Lynda Barron (Auntie Mabel) doing the voiceover? I keep expecting her to say "Hello me dears" or lose Pippin on the tracks somewhere!

@spoorus Some people don't know the meanong of the word "efficiency": "On the 7th November 2002, Royal Mail announced the line had become uneconomical with losses of £1.2M a day". A DAY!
-
@TransportEU because the maintenance costs soared
-
The reason RM stopped using the system is because it wasn't connecting anything . The mail center's have been moved to the outskirts of London

It's called privatizing.. A more strictly kept-on religion than marxism.. conducted by the right-wings. Better to reduce mail service transport to the night hours, by car. This magnificent piece of engineering given away to disuse and oblivion. No use to make an appeal.. Destroying capital from railways is a faith to some conservative elements.
