Just done some rough calculations
20 (carriages) x 2 (people per carriage) x £2 (per person) = £80 per turn
£80 x 12 (turns per hour) x 5 hours per day x 3 days = £14,400

Even if they have it running for 8 hours a day it's still not going to make £35,000. So surely that's not the cost of bringing it over - no one would be that mad!

It would be interesting to know who's footing the bill and who's getting the profit.
