If a charter train was going to stay in Newquay overnight.....

a) Would that be possible?
b) Would the new station layout arrangement allow one to stable there and a DMU metro train to come and go?
c) Would the line infrastructure be up to it anyway - passing loops etc? Or wouldn't they be needed?

I don't see why not, provided it was a certain length (ie 2+8 blue pullman etc). Anything longer would make passing another train at Goonbarrow loop difficult. The new platform at Newquay would be used by the metro service whilst the charter would lay over in the longer "original" platform.
