POSTBUSES Royal Mail’s extensive operation of
postbuses continues to generate much interest. Postbus services started in February 1967 and there are still
over fifty in operation today. New
LDV Maxus postbuses are expected in February 2008 with more following later
this year or early in 2009. For full details of current services,
we recommend the Royal Mail site www.royalmail.com/postbus
for timetables and routes. For a history of the postbus in the
United Kingdom, our book THE POSTBUS HANDBOOK chronicles the introduction
and growth of postbus services. In addition, we have published two updates, POSTBUSES 1998-2004
and POSTBUSES 1998-2006. Each update
is priced at £5. All three (Handbook
and two updates plus a current list of vehicles and routes following the
service withdrawals of 2006 and 2007) together are priced at £20 from POVC
Sales at 124 Shenstone Avenue, Norton, STOURBRIDGE, West Midlands, DY8 3EJ. Please make cheques payable to the “Post Office Vehicle Club”. The Postbus Appreciation Society specialises in the study of the postbus and goes into greater
detail than we are able to about routes, timetables and tickets. You can contact it at rmpb@woodclyffe.fsnet.co.uk. |
