PETER HITCHENS: I have been noticing worrying signs about King Charles… now he’s made the most horrible decision

I think King Charles should be a secret gasoline head like Mr Toad, a very terrible maniac driver Mr Toad, which is very terrible than nostalgist nostalgist, where he was seen to be at first glance. What else can he explain his terrible, unnecessary decision to scrape the royal train? The instruction almost does not save money, it is not badly justified and a cruel blow in the environment in which it claims to love it very much. As we will see, the trains are one million times more green than cars, and as for helicopters and special jets, these things survived the segments of the king are not green even if they run in pieces of old cheese and cooking oil.

Remember that the late queen gave him Aston Martin in Seychelles Blue ‘for the 21st birthday in 1969. There are still, but now wine, cheese … and working on biofuel made of unleaded gasoline. Perhaps this explains the rich, arousing smell of the old -fashioned fuel that I smells as I passed through Royal Bentley, near the gates of the King’s London house Clarence House a few months ago.

His favorite Vintage Aston Martin is a typical manifestation machine about ridiculous, ambitious plutocratic cars that are not very suitable for real life and make London nights disgusting with mechanical newspapers and railing tires and screaming tires.

For example, it may double the national speed limit. Grand racing driver Graham Hill taught how most of us have a kind of driving lesson, but how to continue in the Thruxton circuit. King said: ‘One of the great cars. I love design and lines. They are special … It was always a car to have it. ‘

Maybe it is. However, the faster and more beautiful the cars, the more beautiful it is, often a motorcycle escort made by us, unless there is a motorcycle escort that emits smoke in the groove or emitting smoke in traffic congestion. However, trains can legally go to 186 miles, and there is no need for police.

Since the king saw that the age of three years older than me and the age of steam was more than me, in his old -fashioned heart, like me, I assumed that the Great Express locomotives of his childhood were much more excited than the glittering glory. It’s not just me who thinks it’s a little nostalgic. There is a painted sign that warns guests in the Highgrove house: ‘Watch out! Now you are entering an old -fashioned organization. ‘

In 2018, the late Queen, depicted with Royal Train, gave Charles Aston Martin in Seychelles Blue ‘for the 21st birthday in 1969.

And still, apparently, not nostalgic for trains. I notice the signs that are worried about our ruler. For example, he could take the use of the royal train to London for the funeral of the royal train to move the Queen from Scotland, where he died. A special funeral with large windows was carefully illuminated to let him even take a look at his coffin at night if the majesty of the mourning of the mourning died in Balmoral.

Such a journey would bring respectful multiplicity alongside the numbers for two million Americans for Bobby Kennedy, who was killed in 1968, as numerous British did, according to the funeral train of Sir Winston Churchill in 1965.

It would be a highly active national farewell, like those who ranked for hours to lie to the state of his majesty. But it never happened.

Of course, it was more appropriate to fly it, more modern and more boring, humorous and compatible with the demands of ‘security’.

In this case, I do not know that it was ‘safe’ to put the queen into a banal car from the public highway from the Hyde Park corner to Windsor. This was also a better and more respectful journey by the railway.

Among the modern people surrounding the king, you can see why aircraft and car arguments reign. But they all missed the point. Being in the state in the Westminster Hall was to witness and feel something that I fought to define as I felt very powerful by traditional instruments.

Not having any king would be more modern and useful and safe. Nevertheless, even the Republicans would disappear in a strange, unexpected way after the crown went. Since then I have watched it carefully and I was not surprised to find that the train was not used in the new reign.

So why wasn’t it? I recognized this as an old tactic to crush something you don’t like first and then get rid of it. Therefore, pay attention to a terrible, weak, unreasonable excuse to scrape the train-2024-2025. Time is claimed to cost 389.984 £. This figure is reached by installing all loads on two trips. Many more trips mean a much lower cost per trip. But for the sake of heaven, why was it used so little?

It was not due to air, economy or global warming. Because the king of Petrolhead and the fertile modern consultants, which shone, did not want to use it. They decided not to use it. Not just. Soon it will be clear that this decision is a mistake, but it will be very difficult to get back.

James Chalmers, ‘the keeper of the special bag’ ‘moving’ move forward as we should not depend on the past ‘, he is spreading Drivel. The steel of PricewaterhouseCoopers, a Goliath among accounting companies, was brought to the palace from the obsessed world of productivity. Such bodies have specialized knowing the price of everything and the value of nothing. I was surprised that he was not renamed herself as the ‘account chief’, because I didn’t see any special bags, and she wouldn’t know what to do with someone.

Change is not always progress. Trains are not archaic survival. They combine extraordinary beauty with great modernity. Railways remain the most modern, quietest, cleanest, most efficient, fastest and at least extravagant.

They can use almost every fuel. The friction – rolling resistance between the steel wheel and the steel rail is much smaller than any motor vehicle with rubber tire on the asphalt road. Therefore, all appropriate environmentalists do their best to choose and promote them as well as the royal train.

Thus, the king should immediately leave this stupid apocalypse. Not only one, but not two, but in a real state of a real state, we need to take one hour in an hour, which can cause Paris, Berlin, Warula and Rome from the channel tunnel in the locomotive and chubby cars and the royal Maroon, and the King Seblem, which can cause Paris, Berlin, Warula and Rome.

Both should be open to payment to visitors when not used. And a seat on the royal train, Aston Martin, as much as seen, but is never known, but distinguished, uncertain work and task continues to round the national wheels, otherwise a prize should be presented to men and women who are not known.
