Interesting stuff Groundhog. Didn't know about the cruise ships, which may have contributed to the German numbers, but there were an awful lot of "D"-regged motors (and a few campervans) driving around aswell.... plus the usual "D"-regged bus squeeze down the narrow, windy road into beautiful Porthcurno, when we went on our annual pilgrimage down there.
What will be really interesting is to see what happens to the London "trunk" route from NQY when Flybe pull off it next March.
By the way, whatever you may be told by the Govt about the trains, they will not get any faster west of Exeter until someone straightens out the lines and levels them a bit....although it does make a great journey if you're not in a hurry!
