Works and engineers drawings. Many workers retired from the railways when the Mail Rail was closed and so left many of their work belongings and everyday rubbish behind in the main depot area close to Mount Pleasant. The Post Office Underground Railway Ð Mail Rail Ð silently and industriously ran for miles under the streets of London largely unnoticed for more than three quarters of a century. But since 2003, the worldÕs first driverless, electrified railway has laid dormant with just a handful of engineers to maintain it. Under new plans developed by the British Postal Museum & Archive, that could all be about to change. As part of a £22m scheme to deliver a new, national postal museum in Central London, the British Postal Museum & Archive is planning on opening up a section of Mail Rail to the general public for the first time in its history.
