1 of the 67s was silver with Union flag
Other was standard Royal livery.

Prince Charles has been in Liverpool visiting a school and Jaguar.
Prince Charles was actually opening the revamped Florence Institute, a community ha ll in the Dingle which has received approx £6M in lottery grants. As he left he was invited to visit the unrefurbished Wellington Vaults public house across Hill Street. He took up the offer and had a half pint of stout.
Additional information: The Royal Train locos were 67026 and 67006. The other loco in Royal livery, 67005, is currently on Fife Circle duties.
All time rail mileage travelled 327264 miles
