Shunting oil tanks at Skipton
There used to be a siding just east of the station, roughly where Morrisons supermarket now is, used for oil deliveries. Here in 1988 is a rake of such tanks being shunted by the station pilot 08707. Note that platform 4 in the foreground was at that time out of use by passenger trains.
The semaphore signals in this photo are also seen in Neil Clifton's 1983 view Image but were replaced, along with the signal box in the distance, in the 1990s electrification.

Rail Charter Services coat of arms
For context, this was on the side of each of the coaches of the 'Staycation Express'. This all-first-class excursion was running two return trips, five days a week, through the summer of 2021 (one to Carlisle and one to Appleby).
I don't know whether this is and officially granted coat of arms, but it appears to reference the symbols of Yorkshire (white rose) and Cumberland (three Parnassus flowers), with a Latin motto roughly translating as "for all things are possible".
