ROYAL TRAIN PROTECTED
It is a good thing to "live dangerously" when necessary, but British people will be relieved to hear that more precautions are to be taken for the safety of our Royal couple during their travels.
When they travel by rail in future they will use shrapnel and bulletproof coaches, three of which hav.-> now been completed at a Midland railway town. The coaches are encased with armour plating an eighth of an inch thick and the windows are safeguarded by armour plating frames, which can be automatically closed when the air raid warning sounds.
