Royal train

Until 1993 the Royal Train consisted of a lounge car and a trailer-coach. In 1991 Dutch Rail was asked by government to build a new lounge car.

The new Royal Train was finished in 1993. The basis for the design was the inter-city model in use at the time. The Royal Train has two bedrooms, a small kitchen and a salon containing a conference table and six chairs.

Dutch Rail uses the Royal Train for the Queen’s domestic and international journeys and for transporting heads of state visiting the country. On official occasions, members of the government are also permitted to ride in the royal carriage.
