Production in the Potteries was obviously slow judging by the small number of china clay empties conveyed on 6V70 0858 Cliff Vale-St Blazey SS headed by 60006 passing Besford on 12/12/2001.
43097/43198 provide the power for 1V47 0710 Edinburgh Waverley-Plymouth passing Besford on 12/12/2001.
67003 sweeps past Besford with 1V53 0727 Low Fell RMT-Bristol Parkway RMT on 12/12/2001. This service was an extra for Christmas mail.
