Apparently there was a reported sighting of 30691 hauling the 3.13pm Padstow 'Perishables' in October 1960, but would agree with others, that they were rare west of Oakhampton. During the winter months some of Exmouths allocated 700's were fitted with snowploughs in case they were needed for line clearance duties, but have never seen any photos of them on the North Cornwall line.
