Note: Gondola is an intermediate stop on the railway line approximately midway between Beira and Umtali. The Beira and Mashonaland and Rhodesia Railways operated a T.P.O. on this part of the line until 1949, and letters bearing Rhodesian duties were not only accepted but also cancelled during this period.
