Adam Trimingham's historic assessment of the demise of Britain's postal services (The Argus, October 30) omitted the long-term effect Dr Beeching and nationalisation of the railway had upon the Royal Mail.

The Royal Mail will become as historic as the stage coach.
Trade union strikes will bring the Royal Mail and junk mail's ends nearer.
