The royal train currently consists of nine carriages which comprise sleeping accommodation, offices and a dining car. It is pulled by locomotives painted in the royal livery of claret with a red stripe, though the engines are used to pull other trains when not needed for the royal train. Buckingham Palace’s accounts show that the costs of running the train were £0.7 million in 2013-14, down from £0.9 million the previous year. telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/theroyalfamily/10926489/Aides-try-to-keep-the-royal-train-rolling.html
