A very happy birthday to HRH The Prince of Wales who turns 73 today.

The Trust is very proud of its connections to The Prince of Wales. Tornado was officially named by Prince Charles in 2009, hauling many Royal Trains since, & our latest build project shares the royal moniker.

'And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod the high untrespassed sancity of space, Put out of my hand, and touched the face of God.'

We remember them.
