Dozens of Evesham residents are heading to London to pay their respects to the Queen without knowing when they will return.
Stationmaster Gary Hale says he has seen plenty of people making their way to the capital to see Her Majesty Lying-in-State.
However, due to the almost three-mile-long queues building on the Thames, many don’t know when they will be back.
He said: “Quite a few more people are going to London but 'don't know when they will return' because of the length of that queue!
“It’s impossible to say (how many people). I've probably sold a few dozen tickets but many more will have bought their tickets online.”

Mr Hale added that anyone heading to London over the weekend will be aided by the fact that Network Rail has postponed planned engineering work in Oxford.
"The rail industry is doing all it can to ensure people can travel to pay their respects during the period of mourning,” said a Network Rail spokesperson.
"Where possible, we will be running some extra services and postponing engineering work.
"Customers should check journey planners for the most up-to-date information."

On Sunday, Mr Hale played an important role in the town’s proclamation of King Charles III.
During the service, Mr Hale performed the role of the macebearer.
“I'm very proud to watch history being made in my hometown,” he said.
