@westhamwizza It's not just for a lady, it's for the QUEEN. The train is staffed by a large crew who cater to her, or the Princes every needs.

I hear the germans took over EWS. Can anyone confirm this? Surely this can't be true?

Yes, Deutsche Bahn Schenker or DB Schenker as they're more commonly known are now what was EWS.
Not sure if the trains have been re-plated as yet.

I never thought I would see the English stand for such carnage of an institution that was once the mass of the UK's Cargo rail transport.
How can DBS run in the UK?
