Warships in particular appeared in their early days on diverted main line trains from Tiverton Jc through the town and down to Exeter, both for engineering work and when there was flooding around Cullompton on the main line. These diversions of expresses were also not unknown back in steam days.
However the main diesels that ever worked the line were D63xx, which did a few turns towards the end, sometimes with just a single coach taking over from a 14xx plus auto-trailer.
We are aware of an issue with emails from the Forum to Microsoft-based email accounts (hotmail/outlook/live.com email addresses). This is being looked into currently, thanks for your patience meanwhile.
