Cravens Class 105 DMU set 66 led by 56435 arrives at Norwich on Saturday 15 October 1977 with either the 14.35 Lowestoft to Norwich, or the 14.52 Yarmouth to Norwich. Rob Paterson.
Stabled at Norwich MPD on Friday the 23rd June 1978 is Class 105 DTCL 56435, half of Norwich Set No.69. I believe from my records that the vehicle behind is the other half of Set No.69 Class 100 DMBS 51120. Interestingly 51120 was withdrawn just 6 days after this image was taken on the 29th June 1978 being scrapped at Mayer Newman, Snailwell during May 1981. 56435 would continue in service for almost another 6 years however being withdrawn in May 1984 before following 51120 through the firing tunnel at Snailwell in October 1984. Bob Woolnough.
Norwich based DMU set 68 led by class 100 DMBS 50346 with class 105 DTCL 56435, plus two other sets on a Norwich - Dereham charter organised by the Wymondham & Dereham Rail Action Committee (WyDRAC), Railway Development Society (RDS) and LCGB on 8/Apr/1978. Seen at Norwich. Robert Chilton.
