Noo-Noo hitches a lift. A somewhat unusual train operated on 1 December 2017, the booked up cement from Moorswater to Aberthaw first operated west from Moorswater to Burngullow to collect RailVac 4, which was due to return to Westbury, thus avoiding a light loco move to collect it. The RailVac was coupled between the loco (No. 70816) and the train and is seen emerging from Kennaway Tunnel, Dawlish. The train operated as 6X54, 13.30 Burngullow to Westbury.
