Britain's King Charles III has agreed to phase out the court's train, announces Buckingham Palace. The royal train journeys, a tradition dating back to 1869, are simply too expensive.
As we move forward, we must not be bound by the past, says James Chalmers, who is responsible for financial matters at the court.
The train, which consists of nine carriages that can be coupled to commercial locomotives, will be taken out of service before 2027 when the maintenance contract expires.
