    Indeed and going off at an angle. RTT put together a decidedly tongue in cheek timetable for the Great Man. Starting and finishing at North Pole Junction/depot [one time home to UK based Eurostar trains] visiting as many as possible stations and extremities of the National Network.

    Methinks the late Prof.Hawking might've given the fat man a good run for his money on that front. That'll upset Elon! :)

    Not knowing your age, had your parents adopted such a Beckham-esque philosophy, that would suggest some happy memories of one place from a list of possibilities comprising Brighton, Plaistow, Tilbury, Old Oak Common, Croes Newydd, Machynlleth, Barry or Swanage! ;)

    Of course there are various members of the Royal Family who have visited a mired of heritage lines up and down the land. Princess Anne has even had a go on one of these "Footplate" experience events that many lines have run.I think it was on the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway.........

    It was indeed on the GWSR. It was on a day when the railway was not running a public service. The loco was Black Prince, and her Royal Highness was a guest of the owner, David Shepherd.
