In their time, travelling post offices were a brilliant idea! Thank you, Oscar, for bring this to life.
Love your UA-cam channel Stanley Gibbons
Absolutely fascinating.
The steam engine day's Remind me of Midland hotel in Bradford As you probably are aware quite old building Once they used to have a Flea market Where you could pick up rare valuable That is where my collection of stamps came from nearly 20 albums And rare magazine collection of Stanley Gibbons in Old English currency
Keep up the truth greatly appreciated
Wow! The original Hornby Dublo TPO!
I still have an earlier version of that model from the early 60s. Picked up on the left and dropped of on the right. When I first joined the army we used to catch the milk train from Waterloo to Wool. Just regular carriages filled with mail bags, newspapers and other stuff. Stopped at every single station to drop off.
wonderful demo !!
Certainly recognise that type and colour of railtrack same as I had as a kid.
Well there used to be lots of steam engines in Bradford especially Midland Road and Midland hotel of Bradford Well before daily express existed in 1900
Most of the widows died waiting for compensation and pension
Pony Express in USA before Stage Coach and augmenting Stage Coach
These accounts happened until 1960s still taking place in Crown courts and Majestrade Courts a trade off
Didcot Railway Centre has demonstrations of a real mail coach with pick up and drop off with the leather mail pouches.
It was a great idea a safer option might still work in this day and age.
Better braking caused toe cessation of the apparatus. (Line side pick up and despatch)
Well it's a good thing tiny Roland did not call himself Al For example The Egyptian called Alfiad groups House of Fraser
Well it is sad to hear Queen Elizabeth 2nd health deteriorating she will always look pretty on the 1954 British penny . Queen Elizabeth 2nd Her Majesty may rest in peace
Stanley Gibbons stamps what were they used for I am referring to the stamps that were printed Stanley Gibbons LTD stamps That I have in my collection
You said it stopped in 2004 then 1971, which one is it?!!! I love trains and this fascinates me!
The earlier date is when they stopped sorting on trains. The second is when they stopped carrying mail on trains ready sorted.
I can imagine stand and deliver the poor widows Never receive the pension and compensation By the dark horse Lloyds bank established in 1739 I think
Interesting would think they would slow down a bit when doing pickups and drop offs I wonder if any bags ever bounced out completely?
5:22 train demonstration.
The magazines of 1969 and 1970 monthly magazines of Stanley Gibbons front pages in color All the rest in black-and-white english and Old English currency advertisements of stamps Auctioneers printed by the daily express in London with Sunday express National newspaper of United Kingdom. How much are these worth these days Stanley Gibbons magazines of 1969 monthly to 1970. You would have to excuse me as I am using voice recognition programme as I am crippled and cannot carry for long So I am hoping all the words are correct on this channel. It makes you wonder what happened to all the Auctioneers of stamps that were advertising in Stanley Gibbons magazine and daily express and Sunday express
You know what is bizarre I hardly get a reply
But I would like to know what is the value of the 1933 British penny's I have more than seven plus the 7 ceremony money 💰 shining goldish both sides and others 1943-D Brass Abraham Lincoln one wheat cent in great condition and I have seven 1954 British penny's saved from funeral services of meltdown Furnace hell and I have album of black and white Ministerial show that millions used to watch on television. For some bizarre reason many 1960 say Africans and Jamaicans have been destroying all records of vinyls of black-and-white Minstrels show
You're a bit young to remember Hard knock life
