Royal Train's Farewell Tour: A Cost-Cutting Decision

Due to budget concerns, Buckingham Palace has announced that the royal train will be decommissioned by 2027.

This decision marks the end of an era, considering its long history of transporting monarchs since Queen Victoria.

The high costs associated with its maintenance and operation, recently highlighted by a pricey trip, prompted this move.

Before its retirement, the royal train will embark on a farewell tour across the UK, with a potential public display afterwards.
