What's it been re-named? Thought it was already called Britannia?

@5786Dan It was, but I dont think it was officialy named

Fantastic! If only someone would move that bloody diesel out of the way! Nice one! Liked.

[SteamboatWilley]

@SatNavDan You would think it would have departed first. In the old days they would sent a "pilot locomotive" ahead of the Royal train to ensure the line was clear.

Its a shame we couldn't hear the speeches, but it was nice of Charles to give a wave.

@elinormboston you were very lucky to have the footplate ride and I wish I could have had one HAHA!
