A Cravens Class 105 two-car DMU formed of cars E51255 & E56130 had arrived at the market town of Sudbury, with a service from Colchester & Marks Tey on an overcast Sunday April 5th 1981. Much disused and abandoned infrastructure is visible in this scene, a legacy from the days when prior to 1967, Sudbury was a through station on a route to Cambridge. Martyn Hilbert.

A Cravens two-car Class 105 DMU formed of cars E56130 & E51255 was stood at a forlorn looking Sudbury, awaiting the 11 mile return trip to Marks Tey situated the Great Eastern main line on an overcast Sunday 5th April 1981. The rusty rails in the foreground lead to the stop block at the end of the branch. Until 1967, Sudbury was a through station on a cross-country route to Cambridge. Martyn Hilbert.

Class 105 / 101 vehicles E51301 E56400 approach Newcastle from the ECML (north) on 18/04/1981. The rear Class 101 is distinguished from the front Class 105 by the grey band of its blue & grey livery - which was only carried by a handful of Class 105s - as well as the bright aluminium window frames and different roof vent layout.

A failed DMU gets a helping hand from 55 002 THE KING'S OWN YORKSHIRE LIGHT INFANTRY on April 25th 1981. The Deltic had arrived with the "North Briton" railtour from York via Carlisle, so the watching enthusiasts were able to enjoy the sight of KOYLI indulging in a bit of shunting before returning south. Syd Young.

A Cravens / BRC&W hybrid passes a 47/7 in Edinburgh Princes Street Gardens. Date unknown, but this is probably one of the sets that came from Newton Heath in 1981. Walter Burt.

A selection of DMUs at Sheffield Midland station, photographed on 4th May 1981, a Barnsley service waiting to depart from platform 5 while other units idle on the through roads. Eight vehicles are in the row on the left, a Class 105 and possibly three Class 114s behind. The set on the right is also 114, a 108 is in the distance between. Andrew Walker.

A Cravens Class 105 Power Twin DMU with Driving Motor Brake Second (DMBS) M50764 at the rear, was hurtling downgrade at Hoghton with a Colne to Preston service on May 11th 1981. At the time, Hoghton was quite a rural location, with the former goods yard in use as an ex military vehicle sales dealer. The former Hoghton station, closed in 1960, was located beyond the level crossing. Today, the goods shed has gone, replaced by a housing, and the open aspect seen in this view has vanished - trees, unchecked lineside undergrowth and housing now being located on both sides of the railway. Martyn Hilbert.

A Cravens Class 105 Power-Twin has just passed over the half-barrier level crossing at Hoghton with the 11.33 Preston to Colne on May 11th 1981. The former Goods Shed in the background was home to a dealer in ex Ministry of Defence vehicles. The area surrounding the line then had an open aspect, today the trackside is tree lined and the Goods Shed has been demolished and housing now covers the site. 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.
12th May 1981
Evening light at Cocker Bar on the approach to Midge Hall, as a Cravens Power-Twin formed of cars M50804/M50758 powers along with the 18.49 Ormskirk to Preston service on May 12th 1981. The former double track formation along this former main line is clearly visible in this view. Martyn Hilbert.
13th May 1981
Bringing up the rear of a well-loaded four-car Preston to Colne service, Cravens Class 105 Power-Twin Driving Composite Lavatory car M50804 was stood at Bamber Bridge on May 13th 1981. A familiar daily sight along the East Lancashire line from the late 1960's, the then (1981) well-worn Newton Heath fleet of power-twins would shortly have started to be withdrawn from service. The local track gang had their yellow liveried BMC crew bus parked in the station car park. Martyn Hilbert.

The single line token exchange is about to take place, As a Cravens Class 105 Power-Twin formed of cars M50765 & M50804 arrives at Rufford with the 17.19 Preston to Ormskirk service on May 13th 1981. The Ormskirk services were normally in the hands of Derby built Class 108s and the appearance of a Cravens unit was not common. Martyn Hilbert.
13th May 1981
There appears to have been some repair work done to the timber level crossing gates at Rufford on May 13th 1981. With some of the gates in primer, Cravens Class 105 Power-Twin formed of cars M50804 & M50765 on the 17.19 Preston to Ormskirk, was awaiting the arrival of the 17.28 Ormskirk to Preston, due at 17.38, off the single line section. This was in the days when peak-hour services in the morning & evening saw services utilise the passing loop at Rufford. 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.
