GWR celebrates The Princess Royal’s lifetime of dedicated service by naming a train in her honour

On the 3rd May 2024, we were honoured to name a train HRH The Princess Royal in recognition of her support for more than 300 charities, organisations and military regiments in the UK and overseas.
Representatives from a host of those organisations joined guests at London Paddington on Thursday 2 May as Intercity Express Train 800024 was named in honour of Her Royal Highness.

She's been the Princess Royal since 13 June 1987! Whatever her title, she does what must be at times a tiring and frankly boring job extremely well. I've long suspected that she is the solid shoulder on which members of the royal family know they have have a good cry and no-one will know.
