The creamery and dairy in Crediton has always been located next to the church, but to enable its product to be distributed further, the company ran a transport depot that was located in the goods yard of the railway station. Every day, a train of three or more Milk Tank Wagons would be filled from lorries, and then taken to London by either the Great Western Railway or the Southern Railway. Express Dairies sold the creamery and a similar unit in Kirkcudbright, Scotland in July 2002 to Milk Link, which both by that time produced UHT milk. Milk Link merged with Arla Foods in 2012 but in 2013 the newly merged company sold it's Crediton operations in a management buyout. The new company, Crediton Dairy Limited, began trading in April 2013.
