 However, some long-distance trains still operated, and these were usually loco-hauled.In later years many different diesel-hydraulic classes appeared on the line, including "Baby Warships", "Hymeks", and "Warships".A pair of Class 33 ("Cromptons") were also noted on the line, including "33 048" (now preserved on the West Somerset Railway), on 30 August 1970 with the West Sussex Railway Touring Trust 'Chartex Special'.
