Good Morning and thanks Phil. I don't dispute that it's the Sun but will have to accept the 33 number - can't see it.

Six Cornwall train stations were used less than 1,000 times during the pandemic, with one seeing just 28 people pass through.
New figures from the Office of Rail and Road show how much each station in Cornwall was used between April 2020 and March 2021 - which covers the majority of the pandemic’s lockdown time in the UK. The most used station was Truro, with a total of 419,996 entrances and exits across the 12 month period, making Truro the 371st most used station in the country.
While this might sound like a lot, that’s less than half the number of uses the station had in the 2019-20 year where 1,211,362 people entered or exited - an unsurprising reduction in a year where people were urged not to travel.
St Ives is the second most popular station in Cornwall, with 293,880 entries and exits in the 2020-21 year. It, too, saw a huge reduction on last year where the figure was 706, 826.
This is then followed byPenzance, where 190,426 people entered or departed - possibly bolstered by people falling asleep on the train from London. !!!!!!!!!!!!!
By total contrast, Coombe Junction Halt, a tiny end-of-the-line station a 12 minute train ride from Liskeard , saw just 28 entries and exits in the year.
