 A railfan website notes Class 24, Class 40, and Class 47 as having been used for the freight services, as well as the 1983 special passenger services.The 1992 specials used Class 101 DMU units, and the 1993 special used Class 20 and Class 37 engines.The continuation of Octel Freight Traffic until 1993 ensured that not only was the trackbed kept whole, but the majority of the rail infrastructure was still in situ.
