A Cravens DMU seen at Carstairs on 31 October 1964. Stuart Mackay Collection.
A Leicester-bound three-car Cravens DMU arrives into Hincklcey station circa 1965. Phillip Malin.
A scan of a water damaged print showing a Cravens twin set with DTC Sc56465 closest at Craigellachie, date unknown. The GNoSR footbridge has boards listing the destinations from the platform, the left side reads "Platform 2 for Elgin, Lossiemouth Inverness and the North". The DMU is in platform 1 and is likely on a service bound for Aberdeen. A third platform off to the left was for the Speyside branch, for several years operated by diesel railbuses to Aviemore. Stuart Mackay Collection.
A Cravens 2-car set waits at a tired looking Dunstable North station before returning to Hatfield on Monday 29 March 1965, just under a month before passenger services ceased. This would be the 3.07pm departure, the first train since 8.45am. No wonder the line closed! The van is occupying the bay platform used by former LNWR trains from Leighton Buzzard, which had last run in 1962. Kevin Lane Collection.
A two-car Cravens DMU - Leicester on the destination blind - is seen at the north end of Seaton Tunnel in mid-April 1965. Michael Mensing.
A Cravens diesel multiple unit at St Combs station in Aberdeenshire on 19 April 1965, the terminus of the light railway from Fraserburgh which closed just over two weeks later on 5 May. These Kittybrewster allocated sets seemed to keep their original formations, so the DMBS partner to DTCL Sc56467 should be Sc51478. Tom Burnham.
A Cravens set waits to depart from Fraserburgh with the the 2:15pm to St. Combs on the 24th April 1965. Hamish Stevenson.
Passenger services between Dunstable North, Luton and Hatfield ceased on 26 April 1965. Two days before, a Cravens two-car waits for time at Dunstable North, carrying an unofficial 'Skimpot Flyer' headboard, fitted by the South Bedfordshire Locomotive Club. Kevin Lane Collection.
Luton Bute Street. It's the 24 April 1965, two days before the end of passenger trains between Hatfield, Luton and Dunstable North. A two-car Cravens set is waiting to leave for Dunstable; freight services continued to run on this section until 1989. Another Cravens can be seen in the distance. Kevin Lane Collection.
A nine-car Cravens formation (three triples) working the 5.15pm Nottingham Midland - Birmingham New Street approaching Water Orton on Sunday 2 May 1965. M50752 leads. Michael Mensing.
Cravens DMU heads north from Kings Cross with a Hitchin service on 25 July 1965. Tony Lambert.
A nine-car DMU formation (two 3-car Cravens and a 3-car BRC&W) departs from Cromford station with the 7.20pm Buxton-Lincoln service on Sunday 8 August 1965. Michael Mensing.

This photo of a power-twin on 1F23 Southport to Lime Street service was taken at Stanley looking north but before I became signalman at Edge Lane. Incidentally I never saw any of these Cravens units on this service whilst at Edge Lane. The Southport to Lime Street DMU service was introduced from about April 1966. From 18 April 1966 to 5 March 1967 the timings were 1F05 0925 Southport to Lime Street 1F23 1525 Southport to Lime Street 1F98 1805 Lime Street to Southport 1F99 2125 Lime Street to Southport The headcode of C2 should refer to ECS working from Lime Street to Wigan NW. There was no headcode allocated for the Lime St to Southport service. The only headcodes for Lime Street were; Second character Lime St to or from - Kenyon Jcn 1 Wigan NW 2 Crewe 3 Allerton sidings 4 Chester General 5 Manchester Piccadilly 6 Warrington Central 7 Wigan NW to or from - Allerton Sidings 9 Edgehillsignallman@Flickr.
Another summer Saturday afternoon in 1966 at Manchester and a Cravens power-twin unit and a BRCW sit alongside each other having both arrived at Manchester Victoria. The Cravens unit had arrived from Blackpool but I didn't find out where the BRCW unit was from. Edgehillsignallman@Flickr.
A pair of class 105 Craven units at Scarborough in 1966. A class 110 BRCW is also parked alongside. I always thought all DMUs looked better in green than blue, maybe because of the cream bands around the bodywork. Edgehillsignallman@Flickr.
