Still operating a reduced service during the Covid-19 pandemic, South Western Railway's 1Z26 10.56 Exeter St. Davids to Salisbury passes Forde Abbey at 11.50. Class 159 DMUs nos. 159002 and 159021 are paired-up for this train. They had overtaken an eastbound Network Rail New Measurement Train at Chard Junction just a mile back, which would follow on very shortly.
