Report from a Despatch rider travelling from London through Dartford, Chatham and Canterbury to Dover all postal services were disrupted and very few local union or trades council officers had telephones in 1926, a communications network using despatch riders was established.
These messengers carried instructions and news reports from the TUC and union offices out into the country, at the same time collecting accurate news of the strike's effectiveness. The couriers travelled by bicycle or motorcycle, occasionally by car
