The process to decommission the Royal Train, in anticipation of the expiry of the current contract in March 2027, will commence during the year. This decision has been made due to the cost associated with the storage and maintenance of the Royal Train versus the level of usage.

The UK government plans to accelerate the decommissioning of outdated military equipment to save up to 500 million pounds over five years, which will help fund future investments.
