Saturday 4th October 2013 provided a daylight appearance of a China Clay service in the Taunton area. Having set off from Exeter Riverside in the early hours of Saturday morning, EWS liveried Class 66 No.66041 made it as far at Highbridge Loop before the train was halted. A problem with the TTA fuel wagons within the consist forced the service to return to Exeter. Having detached the affected wagons, No.66041 is seen passing Norton Fitzwarren at 12:20 with 18 JIA China Clay wagons in tow. The service was also re-routed to become the 6Z39 11:10 Exeter Riverside - Avonmouth.
