SUMMARY:CHM Branch - Royal Funeral Trains
DESCRIPTION:It is famously said that when HM Queen Victoria travelled to/from Windsor by train\, the driver was instructed to “proceed at no more pace than the horses would reach”. Until\, that is\, the occasion of her funeral when there was a bit of time pressure\, so the Great Western crew got a bit of a wriggle on! Nicolas Wheatley returns with more of his research on funeral trains and will be able to confirm or deny this story.
