LONDON, July 30 (Xinhua) -- A miniature railway that once whisked more than 4 million letters and parcels a day deep beneath London is to be brought back into use, as a heritage tourist attraction.
From the 1920s the network of rail tunnels was operational day and night along the little known "Post Office" railway

Tickets have now gone on sale for the first journeys along the route when it officially opens to visitors on Sept. 4.
The rail journey, in a specially built miniature rail carriages, is expected to become the star attraction at London's new Postal Museum which opened Friday to tell the story of Britain's Royal Mail.
The museum

The subterranean train network stretched from Whitechapel to Paddington, employing a staff of more than 200 postal workers.

The Postal Railway finally closed in 2003, but has remained mothballed until now.
One of the first people to be given a sneak preview of the new railway trains was Queen Elizabeth's daughter, the Princess Royal.
Because of the narrow width and height of the tunnels

A spokesman at the museum said: "For more than 75 years, the postal rail was a vital artery in Britain's communication network, hidden from view. Now our visitors will be able to experience it from Sept. 4.

FREETOWN, March 18 (Xinhua) -- Sierra Leonean President Ernest Bai Koroma sacked Vice President Alhaji Samuel Sam Sumana for seeking asylum in a foreign embassy, according to a press release issued Tuesday night on the national broadcaster -- Sierra Leone Broadcasting Corporation.
Sam Sumana had requested asylum at the U.S. embassy in Freetown after soldiers surrounded his residence last week.
The VP who was in self imposed quarantine was expelled from the governing All Peoples Congress party last week for what the party described as falsifying his documents and anti party activities.
"Pursuant to my executive authority as President of Sierra Leone as enshrined in section 41 of the constitution of Sierra Leone and in consultation with the leadership of the All People's Congress
puma suede creepers comprar , I shall appoint and announce the name of another person as Vice President shortly pursuant to section 54 of the constitution of Sierra Leone Act no. 6," the press release said.
GENEVA, Jan. 11 (Xinhua) -- Much progress has been made since the latest round of Cyprus talks started on Monday, UN Special Adviser on Cyprus Espen Barth Eide said on Wednesday.
"We are on track. We have dealt with some of the most difficult issues and touched upon almost all of them," Eide told reporters on the third and final day of UN-facilitated Cyprus talks.
Both the Greek and Turkish Cypriot leaders had made important headway on some of the thorniest issues at stake, he said.
Eide also added that many of the sticking points had either been solved or are closed to being so by rival delegations.
Both Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiades and Turkish Cypriot leader Mustafa Akinci have been engaged in negotiations since Monday, almost two months after the two sides failed to see eye to eye in a round of negotiations in the Swiss town of Mont-Pelerin last November.
A broader international conference is scheduled to kick off on Thursday.
It will involve newly-appointed UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and the foreign ministers from the three guarantor powers -- Britain, Turkey and Greece.
"We are eager to see that tomorrow gets off to a good start, and it was very important that we were able to use these three days optimally," Eide continued.
"I think we are roughly where we wanted to be at this stage thanks to the determination and leadership of M. Anastasiades and Mr. Akinci," he added.
Describing this opportunity as "historic", the Norwegian diplomat said that both sides will exchange maps outlining the administrative delimitations of both sides.
