This item from the Lakes Line Rail User Group in a Railfuture newsletter caught my eye:
Working with Tim Farron MP, Avanti West Coast has helped restore a Post Office service to Oxenholme after a two-year gap. Local Postmaster Phil Ballantyne provides a counter service at the station from 1100 –1300 on Mondays and 1230 -1430 on Thursdays. It is believed to be the first of its kind on the West Coast Main Line, and one of only a few Post Offices operating at a railway station in the UK.
It is good to know that local people continue to find ways to keep the vital PO network functioning in the face of government indifference.
