Bath museum first class too

- Mariam Kaplan Los Angeles

Thank you for the Travel section’s informativ­e article “London Undergroun­d” (by John Lee, March 25) about the Postal Museum. Readers might also like to know about the Postal Museum in Bath, England.

In the ’90s, my husband and I were traveling around England and Scotland with a BritRail pass, staying at bed-and-breakfasts.

No plan, no reservatio­ns. We found ourselves in Bath. We were wandering around and came upon the Postal Museum.

Because it was half an hour before closing, they said we wouldn’t be able to see much and refused to sell us tickets. So we reached a compromise: We would pay for one ticket for the two of us and we could see what we could see in a short time. (So British!) We rushed through.

I am 89 now and I can’t remember specifics other than we were impressed with the exhibits and vowed to come back anoth- er time. Sadly, we didn’t. Over the years, I have recommende­d it to many people. The article brought back many happy memories.
