On the 31st July 2024, GB Railfreight 66301 wearing an immaculate gold livery and fitted with 'Drax 50' stickers passes the old cattle dock at Appleby West working the 1200 Drax AES to Tyne Coal Terminal in recognition of 50 years of Drax Power Station. The first wagon in the consist was painted in gold to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Drax. This also happened to be the first ever Biomass train to pass through Appleby on the S&C.
