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.

A Cravens 2-car DMU arrives at Bedford St Johns station, working in from Bletchley on 21 April 1977.

Leading is thought to be M50392 which had a C3T overhaul at Derby Litchurch Lane dated 10th March 1977. Kevin Lane.

The rasp of a Cravens 2-car DMU briefly disturbs the peace near Emerson Park Halt, working between Upminster and Romford on 26 May 1977. The line opened in 1893 and despite closure threats in the 1960s, survived to be electrified in 1986. Kevin Lane.
