To the same sort of places that passengers in Mainland Europe go to. I assume many of them are visiting friends and family.

I suppose a nationwide Sunday service would be a reasonable starting point but as the Sunday service in some areas is pathetic it would probably need adjusting to be of any use to day trippers.

We will never know unless we give it a try but personally, for reasons that I have already stated, I can't see it happening in the near future. I don't think there's enough money in it for the TOC's and the Government are hardly likely to contribute very much.
