Dear Sir/Madam,
REGAL STEAM
REGAL STEAM
It
is often said that only the best is good enough for the Queen and this
is no doubt why Her Majesty will be hauled by a steam locomotive as she
opens the Borders Railway. What is regretable is that the same courtesy
and sound engineering principles will not be extended to her subjects
for whom the regular service will be provided by unreliable diesel
traction.
Yet another missed opportunity by the Scottish Government who should have used part of their investment in the re-opened Waverley Route to support the skills and technology needed for the next generation of steam train construction.

There are quite a few services where "her subjects" can travel by steam hauled trains -
