How many million tourists does Peterborough get each year? Get real!

How many tourists arrive in Cambridge by twirly-pass?

They use them when they are here!

So these are UK-resident OAP tourists who arrived by train and then use
the buses around the City?

And when I was last in Cambridge it was difficult to spot many
tourists over the age of 25, irrespective of how they'd arrived.

Your blinkers are showing.

Using my eyes (sans blinkers).

Anyway, you still haven't said how many tourists there are in Peterborough.

They wouldn't be using the bus to get around inside Peterborough, as all
the tourist stuff is within walking distance. Oxford, York and Lincoln
might have a problem with people using buses within the city limits.

But I'd expect the vast majority of OAP visitors to all these places to
be coming into the centre to do their shopping, not sightseeing.
