47711 County of Hertfordshire pulls away from Bristol Parkway station on 29 August 1999 with the 1E28 10:00 Bristol Temple Meads to York Virgin CrossCountry service. Visible through the Sulzer exhaust haze is the partly constructed new multi-storey car park. This was needed as a new Royal Mail terminal would later be built on part of the old car park (the area between the gates and the construction site). This expensive folly opened the following year, but closed four years later, when Royal Mail stopped using rail, thereby putting even more lorries on the already overloaded motorway network. I wonder if there is such a job title as advance planning manager at the Royal Mail?
