(1) With the HOBC now based at Fairwater Yard again, after a long absence, there is a regular requirement to take part of the train out to Bishops Lydeard and to the triangle used for turning trains. I'm not sure if this particular move is used to turn the wagons though as those FEAs with the water tanks on board will remain at the London-end of the train when it works down to Totnes later that evening.

At 10.31 Freightliner "Powerhaul" Class 66 no. 66414 slowly approaches with 6C75 10.25 Fairwater Yard to Bishops Lydeard, taking the branch off the mainline via the crossover. "Great Western Way" is the appropriate name of the new road serving the housing development on the old Taunton Cider factory site.
