Lets hope it's the start of it! problems in Cornwall today, Par booking office closed and Ticket machine not working (it's a Penalty Fare station!!!!), Camborne ticket office closed all day, basicly a load more lost revenue down the drain that could pay for improvements and keep fares down for longer!
