23 September 2017 Merchant Nay class 35028 'Clan Line' powers the Atlantic Coast Express down the old London & South Western Railway line to Exeter. The excursion had to start at London Victoria due to ongoing engineering works at London Waterloo and returned to London via Taunton.

Approaching Yeovil Junction some 4 minutes early.
