British comedy series from the 70's(?), presumably shot on a preserved railway.

Note the gradient signs , I didnt think a gradient of 1 in 330 was worth signposting.

I am surprised that the Royal Train has not been part of The Queen's final journey from Balmoral to London, as it appears the journey has been by motorcade Balmoral to Edinburgh and thence to be made by air transport to London.

If the Royal Train is still serviceable, and even if passenger train operations have been "privatized" throughout the UK, the ROW's are still government owned. Such a movement would have allowed many more of her Subjects to view her final journey.
