    A good day out yesterday, despite the continual rain in Newquay. We were all drenched on the return journey, apart from the people who never even left the station at all in order to stay dry. Kelly said on board that these trips are operationally challenging but they are currently planning around 10 of them for next year's schedule. She also had to regularly visit a few groups of diesel enthusiasts/Class 47 bashers and administer a stern talking to. I wonder whether this was RTC's first experience of what diesel enthusiasts are like. Very different crowd to steam enthusiasts! Loading was moderate in my opinion, far from being fully booked. I had a table for 4 all to myself, and there was another table for 4 that was empty in my coach.
