All aboard the Sandringham Express!
You may expect the Queen to travel in style to Sandringham every year and, although she could make use of her private royal train, she, Prince Philip and their most personal staff take a public train to King’s Lynn in the week before Christmas.
However, don’t expect Her Majesty to be riding along with the commoners; they hire a whole carriage to themselves, arriving in plenty of time to set the preparations into motion.
