King George V and Queen Mary at a Railway Station

Leaving the station becomes a right royal affair when the King and Queen travel by train

Forget first class, this is royal class… When you have your own carriages and a crowd of well-wishers to send you off, royal rail travel is about as far from the daily commute as you can imagine. This fragment from an unknown newsreel was filmed around 1918 and features a glimpse of King George V and Queen Mary bidding adieu to a fleet of military figures.
