Class 56 Group-owned Class 56/3 No. 56301 in the defunct Fastline livery ambles along the single line towards Butterwell with 6Z16 from the Potland Burn UK Coal facility to Kellingley colliery, on Wednesday 17th July 2013. This section of single line used to link Ashington to the rear of the Butterwell coal loading facility, and became redundant many years ago, but was reinstated when the Potland Burn facility was opened in 2010, and is also served on occasion by GBRf.
