Cheap tickets were offered and excursion trains operated to popular destinations and special events such as the 1851 Great Exhibition.[104] Later, GWR road motors operated tours to popular destinations not served directly by train, and its ships offered cruises from places such as Plymouth.[105] Redundant carriages were converted to camp coaches and placed at country or seaside stations such as Blue Anchor and Marazion and hired to holidaymakers who arrived by train.
