THE National Railway Museum did not get to be the best in Europe by resting on its laurels. So it is no surprise to see the curators already eyeing up the Royal Train even though it is still in service.
However, its days look numbered, and the carriages which carried the Queen up and down the kingdom would be a perfect addition to the NRM's Palaces On Wheels exhibition.
Imagine - we would all be able to see how much leg-room the Queen enjoyed, and whether the infamous bacon roll was available in the royal buffet car.
