A super day weather wise with wall to wall sunshine, but a bit too hot.

First visitor of the day was “City of Peterborough” with the travelling post office or “TPO” for short. Here it is awaiting departure from my platform 2.

The main passenger service was the Polish tank engine pulling the DSB Danish coaches, but at the end of the day that changed, and we are now running a diesel only service due to the danger of line side fires in this hot weather, not ideal but better safe than sorry as they say.

But the big highlight of the day was the fitting of hand made notice boards and timing board, really nicely made. Here is the timing board.

The notice boards will have current notices and timetables etc on them which will provide better information when we are closed.

Had numerous comments today reference the closing of the car park and I am sure it affected business as ticket sales did not set the world on fire. Still time will tell if I am correct.

Nice to see some of the regulars today braving the heat, but many stayed at home.

Tomorrow we are running the class31 diesel so see if that brings out a few of the diesel fans!!
