CHM Branch – Royal Funeral Trains

Thu 20th February @ 19:00 - 22:00

Please note: The RCTS Privacy Policy applies to everyone participating in, or registering for, this event.

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.
