It, over time has been used by many operators, but recently, over the last decade by Wales & West, a regional westcountry and south Wales train operator, but in 2001, when Wales & West divided into Wessex Trains and Wales & Boarders. Thus, since 2001, Yeoford and The Tarka Line has, been operated by Wessex Trains and since April 2006, when Wessex Trains became members of the Greater Western franchise, owned and operated by First Group (famous for many train services in the UK); and is now First Great Western (better known for excellence of high-standard, fast, services from westcountry - London).
