The Royal Train Shed was part of the former Wolverton railway works in Milton Keynes, southern England. It was built in 1899 and changed use several times before it was used to house the British Royal Train from 1963 to 1991. The building has since been converted into residential use and is now a Grade II listed building.[1]
