The Sovereign Grant covers the cost of The Queen’s travel on official engagements and travel by members of the royal family representing Her. Safety, security, presentation, the need to minimise disruption for others, the effective use of time, environmental impact and cost are taken into account when deciding on the most appropriate means of travel. Where appropriate, The Queen and Other Members of the Royal Family use scheduled train services for their official journeys. In addition, The Queen and other Members of the Royal Family representing The Queen may use the Royal Train for longer journeys in the UK. The Royal Train enables members of the Royal Family to travel overnight and to work and hold meetings during lengthy journeys. It has office and communications facilities. Journeys on the train are always organised so as not to interfere with scheduled services.
