and Subs. apparatus.

Maintenance Controls, sending out engineers to clear network and apparatus
faults.

Post Office Vehicle
Club
The Post Office Vehicle Club was formed in 1962 by a group of people whose
interest in the GPO fleet started between the wars. Since then, the Club
has expanded and with the publication of a number of booklets on the GPO
fleet and its successors, the Post Office and BT, interest in Post Office
vehicles has grown with the Club.
