The Post Office Railway carried post from Paddington Head Sorting office to Eastern Head Sorting Office in Whitechapel, a distance of 6½ miles (10.5km), with eight stations. Closed because it had become more expensive than transport by road. Refurbished and re-opened as a tourist attraction in 2017 - you can ride it!
