This was a RARE Catch for me Getting The ROYAL TRAIN with the KING on it.
Then it was just a mater of following it down the WCML hoping it would go back to London Euston.
So I decided to jump on a train to Rugby, but was a surprise to see it stopping for a crew change.
So all the years I have been filming train this was a first for me to film it stopping with a Royal on board.
A train associated with the royal family was filmed as it made a stop for a crew change on the West Coast Main Line. The footage captures the movement of the train from Carnforth, with mentions of Clitheroe, Preston, London Euston, and Rugby. Stock numbers 66746, 67005, 67006, and 87005 were identified in the video. Operators DB Schenker and Intercity are linked to the footage, and headcode 1Z50 was noted. The video highlights a rare opportunity to capture a royal train during its journey.
