Exeter St Davids: A train which ran for many a year was the petroleum service from Fawley to Plymouth Tavistock Junction. It carried a variety of products incuding fuel for the West Country Loco depots. 6V62 was the reporting number at one time. 66170 is seen passing Exeter St Davids with this service in 2002. All fuel oil for the railway down west now travels by road and petroleum services like this are just a memory. In fact Fawley does not send out any oil products by rail.
