A great deal of background information is also provided in appendices, which reproduce many extracts from original documents including the Post Office Annual Reports of the period.

Other appendices give the dates and closing times of Expresses to and from Bombay and the After Packet from Calcutta in connection with the Overland mail and the growth of the railway system. The final appendix discusses the service Thomas Waghorn provided across Egypt between the Mediteranean and the Red Sea.
