The Royal Train passing along the Dawlish sea front on September 15, 2004.

The Royal Train is the name given to the set of carriages dedicated for the use of the British Monarch, other members of the Royal Family, and their staff. The train currently consists of nine carriages, though not all will be used to form a train, as different vehicles have specified purposes. Two locomotives are nominated for use on the train, but are used for other traffic too. The carriages may only be used for other Heads of State; they cannot be hired by private users.
