The Torbay Express on Sunday 19 August 2007, powered by Southern 'Bulleid' No. 34067 'Tangmere' failed on the westbound run near Exeter with air problems. After being assisted to Kingswear by Class 66 No. 66167, the return working ran very late, not departing from Kingswear until 18.30. To ensure no further problems, the train was piloted by Class 67 No. 67003 which arrived on the TDR light from Bristol. The return train is seen passing Dawlish almost after dark, and thanks to high speed recording ISOs on a Nikon camera and processing through Bibble Pro an 'ok' result was obtained.
