Post & Go - Birds of Britain II
Royal Mail referred to the results of the RSPB’s Big Garden Birdwatch to select six more of the most commonly seen species from the top 20, complementing the first set of stamps issued in September 2010. Birds of Britain is the first series of stamps issued by Post & Go terminals, a self service facility which allows customers to weigh their letters and packets, and pay for and print postage labels. Initially these Post & Go stamps are available from Post & Go terminals in 30 branches – see Notes to Editors for full list - with subsequent sets being available from all Post & Go terminals. The first Post & Go machine was installed at The Galleries Post Office in Bristol in 2007 since then over 170 terminals have been installed in around 100 branches. All the birds in the series have been illustrated by wildlife artist and ornithologist, Robert Gillmor.2011 (January 24 2011)

Classic Locomotives of England
Classic Locomotives of England, issued on 1 February, is the first of four issues which looks at the vital role played by these hardworking steam engines, which made a massive contribution to UK industries in the 18th and 19th centuries. When the world’s first main-line railway, from Liverpool to Manchester, opened in 1830, it heralded a new age of mobility and trade. Across the emerging railway network, steam locomotives of all shapes and sizes faithfully hauled their loads, cared for by a vast army of drivers and firemen, engineers and mechanics. Many of these locomotives had working lives of several decades on the public railway network and also in many industrial locations like factories, quarries and docks, before diesel and electric technology completely took over in the 1960s. A good example is the Thor, the Peckett 1689 locomotive featured on the 60p stamp. It was built in 1925 for the Tunnel Cement Company of Purfleet, Essex, and spent its entire life there before being scrapped in 1965.2011 (February 1 2011)

Musicals
Musicals, issued on 24 February, looks back at more than seven decades of popular stage musicals, featuring a combination of performance photography and promotional posters on four 1st and four 97p stamps. All of the musicals selected have enjoyed long runs in London’s West End, which has firmly established itself as the place to see a stage musical for millions of visitors, but it wasn’t always the case. For many the turning point came in 1960 with Lionel Bart’s Oliver! which fought back against the relentless onslaught of American cinematic musicals and paved the way for other home-grown musicals to follow. It’s fitting therefore that Oliver! was selected as the first of the four 1st Class stamps alongside Blood Brothers, We Will Rock You and Monty Python’s Spamalot. Completing the line-up, the musicals featured on the four 97p stamps are Rocky Horror Show, Billy Elliot, Return to the Forbidden Planet and Me and My Girl.2011 (February 24 2011)
