You may be right - there was a HUGE stink a few years ago when the decommisioning of the Royal Train was put forward. It may not have happened yet, or the idea may have been shelved, but I was under the impression that the train had been done away with.

A rather boring point of no interest on the Royal Train subject is that it's no longer a part of the Signallers General Instructions, i.e. if it did exist it would no longer get preferential treatment. I'd think the rolling stock would still be around though.
