The return run of The Dartmouth Express ran into problems after the locomotive set alight several fires between Paignton and Newton Abbot. Initial information suggested the locomotive was to be halted at Exeter, with diesel locomotives to return south from Westbury to haul the charter to Westbury. However after some delay at Exeter the charter was given permission to proceed forward to Westbury at reduced speeds. This resulted in the tour arriving into Taunton around 20 minutes later than planned. No. 60007 'The Spirit of Tom Kendell' 'Sir Nigel Gresley' is pictured arriving into Taunton in the evening lighting hauling 1Z33 16:45 Kingswear to Guildford 'The Dartmouth Express'
