Meanwhile, Buckingham Palace asked the Sunday Mirror to retract a story claiming that Prince Charles had twice smuggled Lady Diana aboard the royal train for love trysts. "There is not a word of truth in it," insisted a Palace press secretary. The retraction demand originated with Prince Charles, according to the spokesman, but the Queen also "wished this to be done."
Newspapers reported that the night before his wedding to Lady Diana Spencer, in July, 1981, Charles and a 'blonde woman' spent the night on the Royal Train.

My friend’s father was a "high heidyin" in B.R. in those days and nuggets of information were occasionally prized out of him (usually after the event). It was by this means that I found out that the Royal Train had been parked on the branch to Costain Concrete Co’s siding near Law Junction, with HRH and the lot on board overnight and the usual security around. Not the most scenic view to see of a morning

Frankly, wouldn't set foot in the thing. I had been informed that there was a security entry and a CCTV camera to monitor comings and goings. None of this was evident. Does anyone use this route on foot or cycle?

Its quite popular at standard going to and from work times, although I wouldn't risk it any later than around 6pm. It reeks of pish so a strong constitution is also a pre-requisite.
