York - National Railway Museum.

Here we see her, dressed in her caracteristhic black clothes. Reproduction of life in a Royal train at the station hall of the museum. Photo by A. Rueda (ad.rueda@gmail.com) August 2010

A real contrast in class of travel, on the left are the luxurious coaches of the Royal Train, on the right is a Class 143 DMU offering probably the worst ride quality of any current UK stock. This photograph was taken on a very foggy November night at Bristol Temple Meads station. Photo by Chris McKenna 21/11/2005.
