A start-up is planning a UK network of underground tunnels to deliver 600 million packages a year
also filed a patent for "Dedicated network delivery systems" that may include "subterranean or aboveground elements" in November 2016, with the filing showing images of packages being transported underground. London had an underground "mail rail" system that was built in 1927, with a capacity of more than 4 million letters a day. It was closed in 2003.
The company has raised £1.5 million since being founded in 2017, a sum it spent on two demonstration projects, and Davies described the technology as "ready to go." It hopes to raise a further £750,000 to expand its team and file new patents and chose crowdfunding to appeal to consumers who want delivery options that are better for the environment and their health, it said in a statement.
