Plymouth Parcels 
Clive Smith

A very smart 47347 blasts out of Mutley Tunnel east of Plymouth station with the 12.10 Penzance - Glasgow parcels on the 6th July 1983. Who knows how many lorries the Royal Mail would need to shift this amount of traffic today ? 
           Regards, Clive Smith. 
Many thanks to you Clive.
