Edward reminds us that once again this weekend that buses replace trains.

Exeter - Lympstone
Troop Train
​John Conelius
Good morning Keith,  Here are three interesting pics I took at Exeter st Davids in 1977. It is of an empty stock train for a troop special from Lympstone Commando to a destination somewhere up country. It was top'n'tailed out to Lympstone Commando by 25315 & 46004, with 46004 becoming the train engine on the return for the journey north.  I think 25315 was detached at central station on the return.
I wonder if this was a rare occurrence of a class 46 being on the Exmouth branch.
Perhaps Dave Tozer can enlighten us of such movements? 
​cheers JOHN C.                             Many thanks John
Some time ago David Tozer very kindly sent in pictures of a troop train at Polsloe Bridge passing along the branch, that was in April 1985 and featured 31219 with 47407 as the train engine.  See these in the Exmouth branch section - maybe David can tell us more?
