The parcels van is a type of rail vehicle built by British Rail and its predecessors, which was primarily used for transporting mail and parcels. They were used by both Express Parcels Systems, the British Post Office and Railtrack. National Rail and some train operating companies still use them. The Parcels van came in various styles and sizes. Most of the real vans (50ft) were built at Wolverton in the late 1930’s and virtually all had been scrapped by 1968!
