Class 105 DMU at Stubbins

×

Details

A Cravens DMU calls at Stubbins on its way from Bury Bolton Street to Rawtenstall on 27 May 1972. M50782 is closest, the other car is thought to be M50815 labelled set NH135. These Newton Heath allocated twin power-car Class 105 sets were the mainstay of branch services for many years, sometimes substituted by Derby 108 units.

The rails of the closed Accrington line can just be seen beyond the platform. This line climbed steeply alongside the Rawtenstall and Bacup line for some distance before swinging to the North West and away from the Irwell Valley towards Helmshore. View towards Ewood Bridge and Edenfield.
