Yesterday I was at a local Railway Preservation Society, checking tickets as passengers came to go on the Santa Special trains.
I started before 9.00 a.m and finished at 4.00 p.m. Will be doing it again next Sunday.
There were 500 passengers on each train, some of them arriving an hour before the train was due to depart.
It was very enjoyable , some of the children and parents dressed up for the special occasion.
There was a large party from Scope on one of the trains as well as other disabled children in special wheel chairs.
It was interesting to see the reaction when passengers were asked to show their tickets.
Some had them ready, but several ladies had to dig deep into their hand bags to find them.
Some had down loaded them onto their mobile phones so no paper trail for them but still valid as it showed all the relevant information.

That sounds like a fun day. My brother and nephew help out at the local miniature rail way and they really enjoy it. And it's lovely to see how many people do come out to enjoy the days

Sounds like a lovely day out and fair play to you, I am sure they were glad of your help. As for the ticket thing, I can never understand why people don't have their tickets ready when they know they will have to show them

Sounds like a brilliant day

Will you be debuting as Santa Claus or The Fat Controller, Cruiser?

I know! Likewise those in supermarkets who are taken by surprise that they have to hunt through a huge handbag, get their purse out and pay!
