What have they done with the line since its closure?

I must say that I am surprised that they closed it, especially as London
is trying to cut down on carbon emissions.

The Post Office railway skirts through traffic, emits no exhaust fumes
and could possibly carry much more than any lorrie -- or at least make
much more frequent runs.


Companies like the post office make all the right noises about being green
but when it comes down to spending the money they're not quite so keen.
Presumably lorries are a lot cheaper to run than a mini tube system.
