Disused Tunnel to Whitechapel
The Royal Mail used a dedicated 2ft gauge underground railway to move mail between London sorting offices with the largest station centred on Mount Pleasant. Closed in 2003, the loop around Mount Pleasant has been re-opened as a tourist attraction. The image shows the tunnel that took the line towards the eastern Terminus at Whitechapel.

Mail Rail - diverging tunnels
The layout around the Mount Pleasant sorting office is particularly complex, but essentially allows trains from either direction to loop round without having to reverse. Thanks to whoever put the layout on OpenStreetMap for geolocating this underground junction where one large diameter tunnel splits into two smaller ones.

Mount Pleasant sorting office
The largest of Royal Mail's sorting offices in London, this main building was designed by A R Myers and built 1925-1934. There are, or have been, other buildings on the site that was acquired by the Royal Mail in the 1880s, although part of it has been sold for housing development in recent years. Along the side are names of British towns and cities (Rugby, Bath, Wigan...) and above, in smaller letters, districts of London beginning with Clerkenwell where the sorting office is situated.
