UK Company Wants To Deliver Parcels Through Underground Tunnels

Posted by samzenpus on from the mole-mail dept.

Zothecula writes Drones flown by Amazon aren't the only way we could be getting our parcels delivered in the near future. UK firm Mole Solutions is exploring the possibility of using small robot trains running on underground tracks to manage deliveries, and it's just received funding from the British government to help test the viability of the proposal.

    And don't forget that before that, from the 1860s in fact, there was a pneumatic parcel delivery railway between Euston and major depots.
