Bath Station Office and/or Sorting Office

A couple of sheets, one with cancels for Bath Station Office, the other for "BATH S.O" which I am assuming is Bath Sorting Office - is this correct ?  Then, other towns have "R.S.O." - is that Railway Sorting Office ??







This leads on to another question I'm looking for answers to:  what role did the railways play in the Post Office, and how did this change things following the railway mania in the 1840s ?
