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.

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.
M50791 is in need of a good wash, seen on the rear of a Leicester service at Stockingford late in 1966. Michael Mensing.

A three-car Cravens set comes of the line from Stamford onto the ex-LNWR line from Peterborough to Market Harborough. It will soon arrive at Seaton station which can be glimpsed in the distance. Date unknown, the line closed in 1966. Image taken by John Vaughan. Stuart Mackay Collection.
A Cravens set at Cavendish, probably on a service to Sudbury as indicated by the destination blind. Date unknown. Steve Davies Collection.
