I have been reading in the local media that King Charles III will be arriving/ departing from Clitheroe Railway station in the Ribble Valley on Monday the 9th of February in the morning. No details as to route have not yet been published. Let’s see whi can catch the royal train.

His Grandfather once drove a train at Swindon if I remember rightly Mike? So he might be in the cab?

@johns So you a noisy one then. I have never blown a musical instrument, I can play the piano a bit, but have played ‘Smoke On The Water’ on a three string cigar box guitar as an opener for a Rock Star family friend in Memphis, in from of a couple of thousand people.

I am not sure what time he will leave clitheroe or which route he’s going as my aunty wants to go and watch him. But the radio said this morning that he is going to Inglewhite where the cheese shop is. If you find out anything else please let me know. I would join you but I am at school 😟☹

Sadly, the Royal Train is quite hard to catch as the timings are kept private due to security reasons. I can say from a friend that it is on ways towards Blackburn but not entirely sure where abouts apart from he saw it at Preston leaving for Blackburn 😀

@RailAdvent Thanks Michael I am at the hospital in Blackburn with my wife for a check up on her recent surgery, so was not able to catch it. My son now lives in Clitheroe and was heading home earlier to catch the King after working overnight.

@RailAdvent Thanks Michael she had X-rays, saw the consultant and had her shoulder redressed, and they are happy with her progress. My son managed to see the king close up, as he had just finished working and was in his full uniform which is similar to the police’s, he still had his utility belt on with Baton and empty Glock holster. He was amazed just how close he managed to get and even managed to say hello and got a reply.
