The Royal Train will soon leave the station for the last time. Buckingham Palace says King Charles III has accepted that it’s time to decommission the train, whose history dates back to Queen Victoria,

King Charles III is making a modern change to a royal family tradition. The British monarch's new financial secretary announced on Tuesday, July 1, that the Royal Train is set to be decommissioned in 2027 after a series of needed renovations deemed the method of transformation to be cost ineffective.

The King is said to have fond memories of the train, which features a carriage created for Charles in the mid-1980s, which he still uses now that he is King.
