Prince Charles has set off to spread the green message in a super-deluxe train that will cost the taxpayer dear. The heir to the British throne embarked on a bespoke train (at a cost to the taxpayer of at least 60,000 euros) at Glasgow station, in Scotland, on Monday. The train has 8 coaches and will carry a team of just 14 people. “The contrast between the train’s opulence, which seemed worthy of an oligarch, and the purpose of its journey was, to some, jarring”, said the Guardian newspaper. .
