The idea of the royal train began with Queen Victoria, who ordered a special car in 1869. Since then, this service was used to attract the British royal family throughout the country.
“The royal train, of course, was part of the national life for decades, loved and took care of all participants,” Chalmers said.
The last update on the railway machine was carried out in the mid-1980s.
The latest financial reports for 2024-25 show that this train is used only twice, which raises questions about the cost of maintenance and storage.
The report also recorded other travel expenses, such as 55 private rental flights, which spent almost 600,000 pounds and ordinary flights of 126,000 pounds. The total cost of the royal trip reached 4.7 million pounds, which for £ 500,000 compared to the previous year.
The largest travel expenses are 400,000 pounds for the travel of the king and the queen to Australia and Samoa.
