	Freight Operations - Non Passenger Coaching Stock - Parcels and Post Office Traffic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Post office parcels soon became a major user of the railways for long distance parcels traffic but the two parcels services were never combined and separate railway company parcels trains continued to operate.
		Flat wagons carrying standard post office road coaches were in use on several lines at least into the 1850's but the idea of sorting mail on the move in a converted coach was a great success and more services soon appeared.
		The Travelling Post Office services, in which the mail was sorted on the move, continued until January 2003 when, as a cost cutting exercise, they were shut down and the modified coaching stock (mostly approaching fifty years of age) was put up for scrap.
