From 2015 onwards, Colas Class 60s became regular performers on both the Exeter / Baglan to Chirk timber services. The afternoon service from Exeter, 6M51, was particularly photo friendly at various locations.

On the first day of CL60 use, no 60076 departs Pilning DGL with 6M51 Exeter RY - Chirk. This loco went on to be named ‘Dunbar’ with Tarmac branding added.
