It's been Falmouth Week, and the Red Arrows are there at 1815 today.
Will this catch GWR by surprise and not be ready for big crowds!
The branch suffered a few breakdowns by one unit or other over the last few weeks, hopefully won't happen today of all days.

Not many going early. Less than 20 on the 1215 from Truro. I suspect that will change later

Based on improvised signage on the Truro - Falmouth A39 road several landowners seem to have opened their accessable fields around Falmouth to motorists to park for the day. This I believe to be new. I am thinking that this development might have an effect on the potential numbers using the railway. I crossed the A39 mid afternoon, traffic was heavy but moving. I've also seen anecodatal evidence of seemingly large numbers aiming for the Roseland peninsula to watch the display from St Mawes and St Anthony and the clifftops.
