    On the 17th February Pathfinder ran the "Exmoor Coast Express", the 6.25am Derby-Minehead (1Z96) which was hauled by GWR Castle Class 4-6-0 5029 Nunney Castle from Nuneaton via Barnt Green, Cheltenham and Bristol Temple Meads. Unfortunately the failure of one of the two injectors on 5029 (due to a cracked clack box) lead to the use of a Class 47 diesel pilot no 47761 as a precautionary measure.
