The day started off very quietly and we thought it would be a slow day then whilst the 4th service was in Peterborough it went a bit mad. Between it going to Peterborough and it coming back we took more money in the shop that we had taken prior to that time. Then it went quiet again.

Had a few of the regulars in and some were noticeable by their absence. Because of the locked car park our ticket sales have dropped and one group today who eventually found us commented that they saw the barrier and thought we were closed, which bears out my theory that that’s what’s happening.

We will see how business develops over the next few weeks.

Paddy was with me today which means a lively day and I was not disappointed, he is always active, an expert at multi tasking, he wears me out.

Next day of excitement will be next Saturday so we will see what that day brings.
