I appreciate a Dash 7 on the Scillies route would not get much utilisation given the small size of the tourist market on the islands and my understanding is that numbers have fallen over the last five years. I tend to regard Scilly as eyewateringly expensive these days. But if the economics worked out would there not be scope for day trippers. In earlier days significant numbers used to go to St.Mary's from Penzance on the Scillonian before it got so expensive.

Day trip from say Newquay to St. Mary's anyone ? I wonder what fares would need to be charged to get sufficient bums on seats ?
