Why was the decision not to use the Royal Train to transport the Queen's coffin taken? Rail industry experts on logistics, security and cost issues

‘The Royal Train isn’t equipped to carry a coffin’

However, Mr Harris spoke to senior rail industry managers who told them they were fully expecting the Royal Train to be deployed and were ‘taken aback’ by the change of plan. They told him that the schedule was for it to run at around 40mph, slowing to between 5-10mph at stations, and also stop at key locations. Other services would still be allowed to run on the network in the opposite direction – northbound – but would be stopped for the Royal Train to pass.

All of the main stations, where well-wishers would congregate, would have been policed to prevent dangerous obstacles being thrown onto the tracks, and a ‘sweeper’ locomotive would likely have run ahead of the Royal Train.argued that disruptions for trespass incidents happen reasonably regularly on the network anyway.
