Explore 100-Year-Old Mail Rail Tunnels

12 March @ 1:50 pm - 4:00 pm

THE_POSTAL_MUSEUM_REV

Don’t miss out on this special opportunity for a Private Tour of the Postal Museum!

Explore 100-year-old Mail Rail Tunnels on foot and discover one of London’s best-kept secrets!

 

This Event includes:

Tunnel walk

Enjoy a private Tour of the Postal Museum and get access to Mail Rail’s tunnels, tracks and platforms, exploring parts of the railway that aren’t accessible on the Mail Rail Ride. Expert guides tell the surprising stories about the staff who built, operated and maintained the underground railway over the course of 100 years – from its construction in the early 1900s, through the heyday in the middle of the century, to the eventual closure in 2003.

Visitors will need to wear a high visibility jacket and a hard hat for the walk, which is provided.

 

Mail Rail Ride and Exhibition

Descend into the one hundred year old former engineering depot of Mail Rail – the Post Office railway – and board a miniature train into the original tunnels.

Numbers are limited to 30. Open to all members and their guests. The cost per head is £75.00p (Inc. VAT) for the Tunnel Walk Ride on the Mail Rail and Mail Rail Gallery.
