KING'S TRAIN TO
BE "FORT”.
POLICE precautions due to the 1.R.A. bombing outrages made the King and Queen almost prisoners in the royal train each evening during their three-day "no specchmaking" tour of the north-cast recently.

And through the night specially picked Scotland Yard oflcers and detectives from the Northumberland County, Newcastle and L.N.E.. forces guarded them.
The scope of the neccautions-unparalleled for ir safely of a King of Britain visiting the provinces of his own country—can be gathered from the fact that detectives watched the relaying of every yard of gravel and piece of asphalt at the place where the train will stay each night.
Normally, members of the Royal Family visiting the north-east stay at one of the great castles, Lambton, Lumley or Alnwick, but a police official said that their Majesties would be better guarded in the train. train.
