You might have seen the striking red livery of the Travelling Post Office train streaking past at a Great Central Gala event. This video takes you behind the scenes of a thrilling non stop mail exchange and gives you a little bit of history about the 'TPOs' as they were known to railway staff. You'll see just how the bags are picked up and dropped off without the train stopping.
The carriages at the Great Central are owned and maintained by Railway Vehicle Preservations Ltd. You can find out more about their excellent work by visiting their website at www.rvp-ltd.org.uk/
