In the year 2001 the last royal car was taken out of regular service and is now on display at the Swedish Railway Museum, however it has been put back into service for special occasions since; the museum is connected by rail to the regular network and some of the cars on display can rather easily be brought back to service. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="United_Kingdom">United Kingdom</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Royal_train&action=edit&section=22" title="Edit section: United Kingdom"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/British_Royal_Train" title="British Royal Train">British Royal Train</a></div> <p><a href="/wiki/Queen_Victoria" title="Queen Victoria">Queen Victoria</a> was the first British monarch to travel by train, on 13 June 1842, when she travelled on the <a href="/wiki/Great_Western_Railway" title="Great Western Railway">Great Western Railway</a> (GWR), which ran the line between <a href="/wiki/Paddington_railway_station" class="mw-redirect" title="Paddington railway station">London Paddington</a> and <a href="/wiki/Windsor_%26_Eton_Central_railway_station" title="Windsor & Eton Central railway station">Windsor</a> (for <a href="/wiki/Windsor_Castle" title="Windsor Castle">Windsor Castle</a>).
