All “Kates” “Catherines” or “Williams” get free travel on the royal wedding by showing their photographic driving licence or passport to Chiltern Railways staff.

Please be aware we have engineering work taking place between Birmingham and London Marylebone on the 29 April, but we will still get you to London, although it will take longer than usual. For passengers north of Princes Risborough, we will be able to divert services via Aylesbury and it will take approx 40 mins longer. For passengers south of Princes Risborough, there will be bus replacements in operation and passengers are advised to

    At first I would have thought they should have also allowed Katy, Katie and Kathryn, in addition to Liam. However, I've just found out Kate Middleton isn't actually a Katy or Katie and was born "Catherine Elizabeth" which is probably why they've said Catherine opposed to Katy or Katie.

    If I were you I'd email Chiltern Railways and check and if they say 'Yes' then print out both the web page saying about the free travel and the email response to take with you.
