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

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?
