Ride the Mail Rail at The Postal Museum
Overview
This is a really exciting opportunity to go underground and discover the history of the first ever social network and ride the Mail Rail!
First: We’ll enter the museum’s galleries which will take you on a journey through five-centuries of world-class curiosities, providing a different, previously unseen view on some of the world’s most significant historical events, and an insight into the quirky beginnings of the earliest social network.
Second: You’ll enter a subterranean world that – up until now – remained hidden from public view. We’ll descend into the old engineering depot of Mail Rail – the one-hundred-year old little-known Post Office railway – and board a miniature train designed to transport people through its narrow tunnels for the first time.
The train ride will pass through and stop at the original Mount Pleasant station platforms 70 feet underground, where an impressive audio visual display will take riders back in time, giving an insight into the heyday of the railway.
Why not see if your fellow Spicers want to go for a drink and a bite to eat afterwards
