Notes:
Royal Mail ceased operating the travelling post office in two phases: five regions on 8th/9th January 2004 and another three regions, the year before, on 25th July 2003. At the time, I arranged to get a number of covers postmarked on each of the TPOs operating on the last days. To these covers I have added a new Travelling Post Office Post & Go stamp issued on 15th February 2017. NB In a few cases the stamps may vary to the ones shown. There are eight different designs and original postmarks. See the special offers page to get the set of 8 covers for half price!
