ROYAL TRAIN TO BE USED
FIRST TIME SINCE DEATH OF GEORGE V. LONDON, December 17, For the first time since King George V. died, the Royal train will be used when the Court moves to Sandringham for Christmas early next week. The train took King George V. on his last visit to Sandringham a year ago, and a few weeks later it brought his body back to London. It has not been in commission since. King Edward VIII. preferred to travel by road or air, but when he used the railway it was usually in a special coach attached to an ordinary train.
