27th January 2022 Since Freightliner have taken over the Exeter Riverside aggregate traffic the use of the Class 59 fleet have been few and far between. Freightliner prefer to diagram on of their own re-geared Class 66/6 locomotives for this job. On the 27th January No. 59202 'Alan Meadows Taylor - MD Mendip Rail Limited' made a fleeting visit hauling the 6C27/ 6C28 diagram.
