47326 passes Flax Bourton on 5 April 1990 with the 6V62 10:34 Fawley to Tavistock Junction tanks. This conveyed both fuel oil for BR depots, and bitumen for the Esso depot at Plymouth Cattewater. It was routed the long way round, via Bristol, as it dropped off tanks at Temple Meads for Bath Road depot. This traffic survived into the new millennium, but then the idiotic decision was taken to supply the railway's fuel requirements by road!
