One inspects train carriage

[northwichcat]

The Queen viewed a train at a recent visit to Manchester Victoria. Does anyone know what the train was.

Picture is number 3 in this gallery: http://diamondjubilee.hellomagazine...leria/20120323977/queen-manchester-visit/1/#3

That is the Royal train.

Aye, definitely the Royal Train. Nice to see the special logo on the 67.

The Queen alighted from her train on arrival for the visit, just like she's probably done 1000s of times before.

Why would that possibly suggest she's 'inspecting' it or 'viewing' it? :roll:

She seems to be looking very closely at the door.

She's looking at the window and wondering why there is no droplight for her to flail from!

Either that or found where a draught might be coming through the door.....

She named 67026 "Diamond Jubilee" at Manchester as well. Think the Royal Train had 3 67's on its trip to Manchester last week.

I saw 67026 on Wembley last saturday as I went past, looking very shiny in its new livery.

Only two, 67026 on the front and 67006 on the rear.

You're right - misread the gen!!
