No ordinary 'skip' this one...67005 'Queen's Messenger' as the name suggests is a Royal Loco.
However it is not confined to just carrying out Royal Train duties and on this occasion is on a
Herfordshire Rail Tour Charter to Lincoln. Pictured in somewhat murky conditions at Alexandra Palace
on the 4th December 2004...having just stepped off our connecting train in time!

Advance information about the Royal Train is not surprisingly hard to come by. However
you may be lucky and be in the right place when it appears as was the case here. 67005
brings the empty coaching stock through West Drayton on the 25th February 2005, the Royal Party having now
left the train.

We think that this is possibly the first time that the Royal Train has run with class
67s in matching livery. 67005 'Queen's Messenger' was leading whilst pictured here is 67006
which was named 'Royal Sovereign' earlier in the day at Bristol Temple Meads. The place is West
Drayton and the date 25th February 2005.
