The first steam charter to traverse the recently re-opened Dawlish Seawall, which had been closed for approximately eight weeks due to storm damage, was hauled by LNER A4 Class Pacific No. 60007 'Sir Nigel Gresley' on 10th April 2014. The locomotive is seen accelerating away from the 5mph speed restriction leading Steam Dreams' 'The Cathedrals Express', 1Z32 07:04 Woking to Kingswear', which she worked from Westbury to Churston (with assistance from BR Class 25/2 No. 25185 from Paignton).
