She'll need to repeat the journey another 37 times to scoop all the 365s for haulage

 

[Schnellzug]

i suppose it must make a change from 67005/006 all the time, although you'd think she could pull some strings to get a Class 92 or something.

She might have trouble scratching in 365526!

And if she owned a Baker Atlas it would look pretty good... I know she has been bashing the Cambrian with 67s, and a pair of DRS 20's but then again I can't see her on one of our 158s especially unrefurbed unit.

 

[Crossover]

I don't believe it is the first time she has taken a public service - think it happened the other year too.

Can't recall what unit it was but the papers (possibly read it on DM online...) said the Queen sat facing the engine....

 

[causton]

Well, you know what the DM are like... I've only ever heard her taking the 365s from Kings Lynn to Kings Cross and no other passenger service trains! Probably meant the driving cab

(imagine if the unit was subbed for a 317, ouch!)

 

[Tomonthetrain]

Did she take her Railcard?

 

[Schnellzug]

You'll still often hear people saying that, that they do or don't want to sit facing the engine. I always want to say "well, you'd better lay on the floor then..."

I wouldn't say that to the Quee, though, obviously.

I believe she has taken a 444 to Portsmouth previously.

Oh of course - it was typically "old-fashioned" reporting, I can recall that much (as of course, years ago, trains were nigh on all LHCS)

The 365 from Kings Lynn to Kings Cross sounds about right, too. IIRC, they took over quite a bit of the one coach what with the security that had to travel as well.

Hehe - when I read about the above, I do recall saying to my friend something on the lines of "was she laid face down on the floor then" :P

I believe she has taken a 444 to Portsmouth previously.

Also sounds somewhat familiar to me as well

excillent! Wonder what she thought of the auto announcements at KGX done by common as muck atos ann? I guess, hate it as many do the onboard pis on the networker would have been more to her taist!

Next job, get the old bird Pacer bashing!

 

[Aictos]

Wouldn't that be classed as torture though,

na, the day they cut the royal car and make her go to KGX on the circle or Victoria lines wil be that.

She'd feel like someone out of Eastenders compared with the one who does the automated accouncements on SWT. "Do try to keep all your luggage with you."

She's also had 47798, 47799 and 31101 on numerous occasions. Prince Charles once had a class 108 DMU on the Cumbrian Coast (in 1984 or 85).

 

[Blindtraveler]

we wish him well but wonder how many rood or otherwise unfortunate comments hes managed to make to the staff?

 

[ainsworth74]

Probably not that many as he's had surgery for a blocked coronary artery so he's probably been under anaesthetic for a fair bit of the evening.

 

[hmp455]

At least the Queen seems to have a good taste!
Mind you as a Networker enthusiast-I would think that!

Wouldn't the Queen travel on the DM nearest to King's Lynn, as the train terminates there?

I do think though the 365s are probably the most suitable units for the Monarch to travel in, with two First Class compartments, one for the Royal family, and one for regular First class ticket holders. The 321s and 317s have their First Class in the TCO (I think)

 

[Swr28]

Its pity someone cant find the power to ask her to write a bashing report for this forum

 

[Blindtraveler]

have just heard this on early morning news. Hope he is ok and I do regret my origional post on the matter. If a mods droppping by and wishes to remove it, feel free

back O/T, HM The Q does clearly have taste!

Oh dear, I'm sorry to hear that. I'm rather fond of the old boy.

He would have been fully conscious during the intervention.

 

[HST Power]

She picked a good train service, and has just gone up in my estimation!

 

[158747]

The Queen travelled from Paddington to Chippenham on FGW HST when she visited Chippenham & Calne in 2001

 

[Tomonthetrain]

She should sample LMs 139s...lol

 

[Blindtraveler]

somebody rename this thread traction HM the Q Has or really should bash!

glad shes0had an HST and if it was 2001 a decent engined one too.

 

[wintonian]

Has she ever been on a pacer?
