Well this morning something unexpected happened. The barrier to the car park was opened for the day, this meant of course that the customers had no need to comment about the barrier and discussion reverted back to the subject of toilets!

Sally & Nigel with me today for what can best be described a quiet but steady day. Nigel nipped into town to pick up a new mobile phone, and was like a dog with two trees when he got it charged still kept him quiet!

Had a photographer taking pictures of a group of chaps and a young lady, all bought ice creams so that was some much needed money in the till and took a few pictures on the platform, she was certainly a well built young lady and the first instinct when she turned round quickly was to duck!!

Nice to see quite a few regulars in as well, if only we could train a few to be more regular and spend a bit more I would be a happy man.

Customers and passengers reacted well to the diesel service and nobody who planned to travel decided not to when it was explained why we had diesel running.

Having a run on Peterborough returns at the moment, I believe it’s due to a shortage of money, as it give an option to take a child for a journey on the train, admittedly a small one but to do so at a low cost. I think we shall see more of this happening in the near future.

Tomorrow is more of the same so lets hope for some more nice weather.
