18 august 2008 - Redhill, UK - Redstone Manor: This is a Royal Mail Post Bus that suddenly appeared outside my house one morning. These vehicles were used to collect and deliver post in country areas with no conventional bus service. The Post Bus would follow a fixed route around the area once or twice a day, allowing the postman to carry out his normal duties, but passengers were also carried, normally between isolated villages and the local town. So, for little extra cost, a public bus reached places that would otherwise never have one. Post Buses were quite common in rural parts of Scotland and Wales, but I think they have now all died out, victims of cost cutting.
That was very interesting solution as far as I know not all were closed because of cost cutting - some were replaced by regular services, which in fact cost more.
