On 4 June 1997 Hunslet-Barclay class 20/9 20903 'Alison' (with 20902 'Lorna' on the rear) pass through Deganwy station on the Llandudno branch, with the weedkilling train and the spray in action. Two years later, during 1999, the loco by then in the ownership of DRS would work through to Kosovo on the 'Train for Life' charter taking aid to the war-torn country. The loco survives today in the ownership of Europorte GB Railfreight.
