Henry, James and Bear are used for mixed-traffic duties along the Main line. Gordon is used for the Main Line Express. Alice has her own train called the Branch Line Flyer Express which is a fast train that stops at all branch line stops including Crovan's Gate on the Skarloey Railway. Peter and Patrick are used for heavy goods trains along the line. Diesel is based at Knapford Yards covering all the shipments coming in and out of the yard while Iris is based at the The Container Yard.
