Since the reign of Queen Victoria, members of Britain’s royal family have often been transported around the country in their own regal train. The current royal train was introduced in 1977 for the Queen's Silver Jubilee. It originally cost £1.9 million ($2.5m) a year to run – that’s equivalent to around £12 million ($15.6m) today. However, its current running costs have been reduced considerably to around £800,000 ($1m) a year as of 2017.
