ST. MODWEN PROPERTIES PLC (“St. Modwen” or “the Company”) update on Wolverton Works, September 2018

In August, Knorr Bremse AG announced that it is to sell Knorr Bremse RailServices Ltd to Mutares AG. The Wolverton Works site remains in the ownership of Key Property Investments Ltd (the joint venture company owned by St. Modwen and Salhia) and Knorr Bremse RailServices Ltd will remain the tenant and operator of the site. St. Modwen has held positive preliminary discussions with Mutares about their future intentions for the Wolverton Works site and looks forward to working with them to deliver the regeneration of the site, following the recently upheld planning consent. Will the Royal Train remain at Wolverton?  

Welcome to the Royal Train & Wolverton Works Official book website. The official 175th anniversary book is still available by emailing me at cleekrail@btinternet.com.

Royal Trains have fascinated people worldwide for over 150 years as these rather special trains reflect social, royal and railway history across the world. 

 

Wolverton railway works in Milton Keynes has seen Royal Saloons built at the home of the UK Royal Train for just shy of 150 years. The Royal Trainshed is seen above along with the official plaque celebrating the 150th anniversary of Royal Saloons being based at Wolverton.

 

The author has given, and been booked to do many more talks about The Royal Train - please contact him for details. Talks can be from 45 minutes to 90 minutes and tailored to the audience. These reflect the contents of the official authorised 175th anniversary book about Wolverton Works entitled 'The Full Works'. Plenty of Royal Train anecdotes from those who worked on it are recounted!

 

The Full Works contains over 100 images over 68 pages documenting the history of Wolverton Railway Works and was published to mark the Works' 175th anniversary in September 2013. It contains previously unpublished details of the UK Royal Train and how its proposed privatisation in 1997 was prevented - by the author. An update is provided with every book sold keeping the story up to date. Over 1200 have been bought following continuing good reviews and feedback. These pictures show Royal Train at  Wolverton.
