An extract from this web page:-

27th August 2001
60800 became the first steam loco to call at Yatton and Nailsea & Backwell stations since the mid-sixties with Pathfinder Tours Ocean Liner Limited (taking the place of 34027). The train 07.16 Taunton-Southampton Eastern Dock was formed of Riviera coaches; 4963 + 5040 + 4927 + 5009 + 1863 + 21272 + 3098 + 3140 + 3112 + 3122 + 1692 + 3125 + support coach...... The Pathfinder steam trip although running nearly 40 minutes late outward, returned on time during the late evening.

The planned timings for the run can be found here:
