Taken on-board a Cravens DMU departing from Highbury during 1985. Ian Docwra.
A minor drama. I had just boarded this train at Highbury and Islington in 1985, when there was a very loud bang and smoke billowed from the underside of the coach - note the cloud out of the left side windows. The passenger in the vestibule was seeing what was going on. Amazingly, after a quick investigation, we carried on towards Stratford! These days, de-training, fire brigade attendance and station evacuation would be the minimum to be expected! This was a Cravens DMBS, the front seats have been recovered in Trojan moquette, but the centre saloon is in a gold / black square pattern. Ian Docwra.

Of the three DMU worked services using Stratford allocated class 105 Cravens DMU's in the 1980's the real Cinderella operation was the Stratford to Tottenham Hale service. This short suburban service operated from the mainline station at Stratford but started from the little used platform 11 on the Temple Mills goods lines. On departure the train would not run directly north towards Temple Mills but instead was routed via High Meads Junction thus performing a 180 degree circumnavigation of Stratford Depot and Works. When this shot was taken on 03/06/85 the service was Monday to Friday only with four return trains in the morning peak and four in the late afternoon early evening peak. The first of the evening trains - service 2H09 the 16.00 to Tottenham Hale is seen waiting to depart from Stratford (mainline station). Adrian Nicholls.
