The BBC are reporting the biggest military movement of armed forces by train in 60 years. It's hard to provide a link as its in a BBC live page.

"The dawn chorus is in full cry here at Tring station in Hertfordshire, and a very unusual commute into London is under way.
Hundreds of RAF personnel are boarding a train taking them into the capital for the Coronation procession.
They’ve spent the past few weeks at nearby RAF Halton brushing up on their marching and rifle drill for today’s spectacle.
The procession will consist of 6,000 UK armed forces personnel, with a contingent of 949 from the Royal Air Force as part of what will be the largest military ceremonial operation for almost 60 years.
These servicemen and women will be arriving at Waterloo, from where they will make their way to watch the ceremony, then form part of the procession thereafter. "
