INSPECTION saloon No. 975025 Caroline is a familiar sight around the country, from the tip of Cornwall to the north of Scotland, as it performs a range of duties on behalf of Network Rail – almost always these days accompanied by a Class 37 as traction.
Besides its routine duties, the saloon has been host to some famous guests over the years – most notably Prince Charles and Princess Diana as they set off on the first leg of their honeymoon from Waterloo to Romsey on July 29, 1981, while on May 28, 1982 it carried Pope John Paul II from Gatwick to Victoria at the start of his.
