On Saturday 25th June 2005 Hastings Diesels Limited ran two tours in one departing Waterloo for two of the Southern's former western outposts - Exeter and Barnstaple - albeit via the Western Route from Reading to Exeter St Davids. There London-Exeter portion of the tour was called the West Country Cruiser. Here 1001 has reversed in Exeter Central and is departing back to the St Davids station.

 |
There then followed a subsidiary tour called the Tarka Special from Exeter St Davids to Barnstaple. Here 1001 awaits departure to Barnstaple.
