50394
Unknown Date
Cravens Class 105 DMBS 50394 awaits it's fate at Derby Litchurch Lane. It has the relatively rare combination of the LM Region headcode box and the stump for mounting a marker light on the roof dome, though no light was ever fitted, unique to the M50390 - 94 batch. It was withdrawn in the mid 1970s after a collision/derailment at Watford Junction that also wiped out M56147 (thanks to Eddie Knorn for info). Undated. Ian Francis.

23rd June 1979
The driver looks-back as passengers alight and board Cravens Class 105 Driving Motor Brake Second M50755, as it was stood at Bolton as the lead car of a Kirkby - Wigan Wallgate - Manchester Victoria service on June 23rd 1979. Note the model of the Isle of Man steamer in a glass case, visible on the extreme right of this scene. These models were a feature at the stations of both Bolton and Blackburn at the time - now sadly gone. The Cravens Power-Twin fleet based at Newton Heath Depot were a joy to behold. Run-down, noisy, but with well-sprung seats and a warm interior that smelled of diesel fuel. The degree of rattle from the metal interior fittings was dependent on engine revs and speed - and all topped-off with an interior that had green formica panels - Happy Days. Martyn Hilbert.

15th May 1981
In the days when the Ormskirk line was still double track from Farington Curve Junction on the WCML to Midge Hall, a Newton Heath Cravens Class 105 Power-Twin, M50757 + M50815 was passing over Lodge Lane Crossing with an Ormskirk to Preston service on May 15th 1981. The foreground was the location of Moss Lane Junction , where a short double track section ran to Lostock Hall at the top of Farington Curve, once enabling trains to run direct from Liverpool and Ormskirk to East Lancashire. The junctions were taken out and the track lifted following rationalisation of the track layout/signalling in the Preston area at the time of preparation for electrification and resignalling in 1972. The well-worn former Up Line to Ormskirk formed of cast iron chairs and bullhead rail, was taken out of use in 1983 and has since been lifted. Martyn Hilbert.

Cravens Class 105 Power-Twin with M50758 leading approaches the site of Moss Lane Junction as it works across Farington Moss with the 11.20 Ormskirk to Preston service on May 12th 1981. The former main line was still double track from Farington Curve Junction to Midge Hall. The site of the lifted connection to Lostock Hall, closed in 1972 is visible in the foreground. The former up line to Ormskirk was taken out of use in 1983. Martyn Hilbert.

9th April 1977
Liverpool Exchange on April 9th 1977; this was almost the end for the once great terminus with total closure only three weeks away. From a reduced number of operational platforms, the station was only handling the electric services to Ormskirk & Southport along with the DMU workings to Wigan Wallgate and Manchester Victoria via Kirkby. My notes recorded on that day have survived, and left to right we have a 3-Car Class 502 set formed of cars M29892M, M29580M & M28353M, awaiting departure to Ormskirk, alongside is Cravens Class 105, M50759 & M50792, polluting the atmosphere with its engines idling on a service to Manchester Victoria. On the adjacent platform is a newly-livered Class 502 consisting of cars M29895M, M29593M & M28366M ready to form a Southport working. On the centre road is a 6-car Class 502 set stabled for the Weekend under the shelter of the overall roof. Martyn Hilbert.
