Hot on the heels of the Class 720 mileage accumulation run was the daily empty postal vans heading south to Willesden Royal Mail depot in preparation for the evening's down loaded mail trains. 325012 and 325001 pass the site of Roade station as the 5A91 11.20 Crewe TMD to Willesden. After the demise of the mobile sorting office mail trains in 2002, there is further talk of them returning again in an effort to get more lorries off the roads and to reduce CO2 emissions.
