Royal Mail and DB Schenker have signed a contract to transport mail by rail.

Seven mail trains a day will be operated by DB Schenker under the contract, transporting mail between London, Warrington and Glasgow. The contract enables Royal Mail to call upon the rail network for additional services to ensure continuity of supply for customers.

DB Schenker will also be responsible for the maintenance of the Royal Mail's Class 325 trains, the distinctive branded rail vehicles that transport mail on the rail network.

Still can't work out why the trains were stopped in the first place :crazy: Next will they be opening up the underground line in London?
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

What with Paddington W2 closed, the possible selling of Rathbone Pl W1 and the possible closure of The Mount EC, there will be nowhere to stop the thing.
