On 7th July 2011 Steam Dreams ran one their regular charters 'The Cathedrals Express' on this day it ran as 08.45 London Victoria to Cardiff via Glouceater. At Cardiff, the locomotive, LNER A4 Pacific number 60019 was turned on the (now) usual elongated triangle from Canton Sidings to Ninian Park to Cadoxton and back to Canton Sidings and is seen running wrong-line into Cadoxton station on the final leg of the move. As will be noticed the locomotive has been refurbished and is using the running number of long-since withdrawn stablemate No. 4492, 'Dominion of New Zealand.' Also to be noticed is the valancing over the top half of the wheels and the additional tender converted to be a water carrier, which required no replenishment en-route.
