A very special excursion from London Victoria to Sherborne was organised by UK Railtours in memory of the owner, John Farrow who passed away on April 19 2020 from Coronavirus.

The passengers left the train at Sherborne for a service in the Abbey whilst the engine, (John's favourite), and coaching stock made its way to Yeovil Junction.
