The Royal Train: The Inside Story

Product Description From the author of "The Royal Yacht Britannia", here is the inside story of Royal travel by train. There is in fact no single Royal Train, but rather a set of rail vehicles that can be assembled into whatever configuration is required, depending on which member of the Royal Family is travelling. Brian Hoey examines every aspect of the Royals' favourite form of transport, including the rolling stock, the locomotives, the costs, operating routines, refreshments - and the decor in the Queen's personal saloon. About the Author Brian Hoey has written extensively about the Royal Family for many years. During its period under Haynes' ownership, Sutton published his Prince William (2003) and Life with the Queen (2006). The Royal Yacht Britannia went into four editions. He lives near Pontyclun in Mid Glamorgan.
