47310 Raven passes Flax Bourton with the 6B97 12:10 Tavistock Junction to Gloucester New Yard Speedlink on 5 April 1990. The IZA twin Cargowagon behind the loco contains bagged china clay for export via Dover. Behind that is a single empty bitumen tank returning to Ellesmere Port. In the centre of the train are four OTA wagons loaded with timber from Lapford, and destined for Warrington. Bringing up the rear is an empty PJA Cartic set returning to Halewood.
