23rd March 1986
A gathering of First Generation DMU's at Croft Street Sidings at Preston on March 23rd 1986. Surrounded by Class 104's (left), 108s (behind) and Class 127's (right), the Cravens/Gloucester Class 105/100 hybrid two-car set formed of cars M53812 & M53355 had been working Preston to Ormskirk services the previous day. The odd couple had been formed when the pair of cars were the last operational examples of their respective types that were asbestos free. When finally withdrawn from service in 1989, the unit was stored at Crewe South pending a move to the NRM, but was damaged beyond economic repair in a vandalism attack. The unit was subsequently scrapped by Berry's of Leicester. Martyn Hilbert.
30th March 1986
Set: 49
Cravens DMU set 49, E54463 and presumably E51271, is seen with a Yarmouth service in at Trowse station on 30 March 1986. Trowse was closed in 1939 but re-opened in March 1986 as the line's northern terminus when Norwich station was closed for electrification works. Stuart Mackay Collection.
31st March 1986
Set: 42
Over the Easter weekend of 1986 (28th-31st March) Norwich station was closed for track remodelling and electrification work this saw the unusual re-opening of Trowse station as an interchange and bus transfer point for passengers destined for Norwich. The station at Trowse was an early closure having lost its passenger service on 05/09/1939. The fact the platform remained largely intact allowed it to be fettled up with a gravel surface and signage for services over the four day re-opening. On 31/03/86 Class 105 DMU set 42 (51272+54443) is at the front of 2B29 the 12.19 from Lowestoft to Trowse having disgorged its passengers onto the island platform at Trowse. The crew have changed ends in readiness to work 2B16 the 13.42 back to Lowestoft while intending passengers join the 12.48 Great Yarmouth to London Liverpool Street both trains would have arrived via the Wensum curve avoiding Norwich. Adrian Nicholls.
1st April 1986
On a couple of Saturdays in 1986, my friend Phil Mott accompanied me on an Anglian Day Ranger ticket. He equipped me with a 'proper' camera and between us we took some black and white pictures on our travels. This in Norwich on 1st April 1986. I suspect it is one of Phil's pictures as I tended to avoid getting people in mine, which in retrospect is a bit of a shame. Mind you, we'd probably be carted off by the BTP if we took a picture like this today. Our aim was to photograph the Cravens 105s and Classic series ETH Class 31/4s, so this was a bit of good fortune, getting a trio of Cravens. Gerard Fletcher.
5th April 1986
On an overcast April 5th 1986 the Cravens/Gloucester twin formed of cars M53812 & M53355 accelerates away from Midge Hall whilst working the 16.07 Ormskirk to Preston. The odd pairing was due to these two cars being the last serviceable asbestos-free examples of their respective classes. Martyn Hilbert.
6th April 1986
A brief burst of sunlight on an otherwise dull day illuminates the Cravens/Gloucester Twin, as it departs from Croston with the well-patronised 11.10 Ormskirk to Preston service on April 6th 1986. Each of the cars (53812 & 53355) were the last of their respective classes at Newton Heath Depot, and had been paired together for their last stint of service. The unit was earmarked for the National Collection at the NRM, but following withdrawal the DMU was vandalised beyond repair at Crewe South and was sadly scrapped. Martyn Hilbert.
