One of Queen Elizabeth’s endearing qualities is the ability to talk on easy terms with everyone, whatever his or her station. Evidence of this came during another visit in 1948 when, as a result of talking to trainees, The Queen discovered there was no public transport from the College to Leatherhead, nor was there ever likely to be. Her Majesty’s personal intervention ensured the provision of a bus service into town until the resources of the College were sufficient to run its own transport.
