What did the officials say?
Newquay Station Manager Mike Trotter explains:
“Newquay Station is set to serve more people in a day than it usually does in a week, so we will be operating a reservation only system, with customers only able to board their booked service.
“This will allow those travelling to board the service more easily, and will help us to manage queuing at the station more efficiently.”
