The Royal Train is being scrapped leaving the Royal Family without a dedicated set of railway carriages for the first time since the mid-nineteenth century.
It is being decommissioned after King Charles concluded the train was too expensive to run and it was being infrequently used.
The train – made up of nine carriages for the exclusive use of the Royal Family – was only in action twice in the last year but those two journeys cost nearly £90,000.
