Queen Elizabeth's coffin should have been transported by locomotive No. 6201 - Yorkshire Post Letters

With regard to your news report that use of the Royal Train to transport the coffin from Edinburgh to London has been 'axed' on security and crowd safety grounds.

My own fond hope for that journey was for Queen Elizabeth's coffin to be hauled by locomotive No. 6201, the engine that was named in her honour in 1933: the serviceable and technically compliant main line steam locomotive Princess Elizabeth.
