Driverless rail London Postal Museum

One of the main attractions at London鈥檚 Postal Museum, due to open today, will be the subterranean 鈥楳ail Rail鈥� line, pictured.

The driverless railway, first used in 1927, transported mail along six-and-half miles of tunnel between eight purpose-built stations around London, 70ft beneath the capital鈥檚 streets.

It closed in 2003, but from September visitors to the museum will be able to ride along part of the line, as well as learning more about its history.
