Royal Train Decommissioned to Cut Costs | JQJO

Buckingham Palace announced the decommissioning of the royal train by 2027 as a cost-cutting measure. The decision follows the publication of royal finances showing a single two-day trip cost over £44,000. While the royal family will use regular trains, the costly royal train will tour the UK before potential public display. This cost-saving initiative comes alongside an increase in the Sovereign Grant for Buckingham Palace renovations and amidst other high travel expenses, including helicopter trips and private flights.
