King Charles is set to derail the late Queen Elizabeth II's favourite mode of transport in a bid to cut costs, as staggering figures on the monarch's transportation have been revealed

James Chalmers, the king's treasurer, said the monarch had now agreed that the train, which critics had long said was a waste of money, would reach the end of the line in 2027.

The Royal Train will soon leave the station for the last time. King Charles III has accepted it’s time to decommission the train, whose history dates back to Queen Victoria, because it costs too much to operate and would have needed a significant upgrade for more advanced rail systems,
