Mail was the passengerSourced

London had an underground railway for post

London’s Post Office Railway opened in 1927, using small driverless trains to move mail between sorting offices. Mail operations ended in 2003. In 2017, part of the route opened for museum passengers, replacing letters with visitors.

Beneath the commuting city, its mail had a route of its own.
