The 7th November 2015 saw an incredible double-headed Class 56 diagram operate into the South West. Rail Operations Group hauled the 5W56 05:27 Kilmarnock to Laira conveying Mk3 HST stock for First Great Western returning from maintenance. Both locomotives are painted in a reincarnation of former British Rail Grey. No. 56098 'Lost Boys 68-88' and 56104 are seen passing Creech St Michael running 234 minutes ahead of schedule en-route to Plymouth. The stock being transferred back to Plymouth was as follows: 41140, 40718, 42196, 42294, 42099, 42287, 42289, 44037 with barriers 6330 and 6338.
