12th September 1978
51297 + 56114 leads a service from Norwich arriving at Felixstowe on 12 September 1978. The set number is a little blurry but the power car, noted as E51297, would be in set 43 and it looks like a possibility. Stuart Mackay Collection.
1980
E51297 beside 47 052 at Doncaster in 1980. John Law.
9th September 1981
Norwich was always swarming with the busy little Cravens Class 105 dmus in the 70s & 80s. Resting between duties here is Set 43, E51297 + E56439. The old twin headcode box has been plated over which was unusual and note yet another Cravens reflected in the windows! The destination blind shows Ipswich, but strangely there was only a single dmu working along the main line through Diss at this time. This was the 17.15 Norwich - Ipswich all stations which was scheduled to run just behind a London service. 9/9/81. Gerard Fletcher.
7th April 1984
Cravens set 43 in Shelford station on April 7, 1984. Michael Mensing.
