Heritage Diesel replaced booked steam traction on 'The Cathedrals Express' charter to Minehead on the 11th of June 2015. The charter was originally booked to travel to Kingswear with LNER A4 'Sir Nigel Gresley', and was later revised to LNER B1 61306. A further revision saw the tour given the new destination of Minehead rather than Kingswear. The traction was then revised in favour of a Class 47. West Coast Railways provided Class 47/7 No.47760 for the trip from West Brompton (London) to Minehead which the locomotive operated throughout. The 1Z61 05:30 West Brompton - Bishops Lydeard charter is seen arriving into Taunton before venturing to the Somerset coastline at Minehead.
