The unfranked postcard below sent from Burnham-on-Sea to near Minehead has a "BATH STATION OFFICE / 5" double circle double-arc (Dulwich, so called because that was where the first one was issued to) handstamp dated 7th August 1929.

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 ?
