18 August 2008 - Redhill, Surrey, UK – Redstone Manor. A Post Bus outside my house. Royal Mail Post Buses run in some parts of UK without conventional bus services. The idea is simple – the postman will pick up and drop off passengers anywhere along a fixed route as he delivers and collects letters. He has to go there anyway, so it costs little more to operate his van as a bus. A Phototrans debut.

18 August 2008 - Redhill, Surrey, UK – Redstone Manor. That’s my house in the background. Post Buses normally run in remote country areas, like parts of Scotland and Wales, but here we are less than 30km from Central London. This bus runs to the village of Outwood in Surrey – travelling is slow, though, because of all the stops the postman must make along the route.

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.
