Fuck the royals...bunch of parasites. What is wrong with you people over there? My god all that for one or two assholes? Jesus...

[TheTraveltube]

@clusterfak it actually carries 50+ members of the royal household staff as well as the royals who use the train

[drhoneytongue]

All those coaches for how many Royals? They'd better start traveling light in the future, when the budget is cut.

[metadyneman]

excellent! lovely to see the class 47s on the royal train instead of the really ugly class 67 buckets on wheels they use now

[Crintingnut]

Amazing lack of security!

[kieranhenshall]

Well it looks like a single branch line.. i've been on that line. Would have been a pretty good idea to wait until the other train comes off it.. XD

[SIRHORA]

nice to se

The royal train waiting for a local train? there must have been a cock-up somewhere.

[edwardianeccentric]

I doubt they bother with the old pride that would give importance to the Royal train in these days of new privatisation.

Then again knowing ATW, a cock-up is extremely likely!

@edwardianeccentric - the order of precedence used to be:

1) The Royal Train

2) The TPO, or Traveling Post Office - the mail trains

3) Long distance express trains

4) Everything else...

[edwardianeccentric]

@drhoneytongue It certainly used to be like that, but I find myself asking whether it remains so!
