24th August 1979
A former Eastern Region Cravens Class 105 Driving Motor Brake Second (DMBS) M50389, complete with a paraffin tail lamp, was stood in platform 3 at Preston station with a well-filled two-car Manchester Victoria to Blackpool North service on the evening of Friday August 24th 1979. Most of the local Cravens sets in the Preston area were power-twin units, but this set was a power-trailer, with Driving Trailer Composite Lavatory (DTCL) M56456 leading. Martyn Hilbert.
29th March 1982
Set: 146
Ex-Eastern Region Cravens Class 105 power/trailer two-car DMU with DMBS M50389 trailing, was passing over the A6 trunk road as it departed from Bamber Bridge with the 14.30 Preston to Colne service on May 29th 1982. The bridge is the far distance spanning the East Lancashire line has a historic claim to fame - it was the first Motorway bridge to span a railway in the UK, the first section of Motorway (The 8.25 mile Preston Bypass and the first part of the M6) opening in December 1958. Unfortunately the original red brick bridge visible here was radically altered in the 1990's when the M6 was widened. Martyn Hilbert.

3rd April 1971
Set: BY385
Cravens twin, 50390 nearest and 56149, at Bletchley on 3rd April 1971, having just arrived from Bedford St. Johns. James Hardwick.
10th November 1979
50390 & 56146 arrive at Lidlington station with the 11.10 Bletchley - Bedford service. The train is about to pass the crossing keepers box, this was well before the line was modernised and it had retained nearly all of it's 'steam age' infrastructure. Geoff Dowling.
10th November 1979
50390 pauses at the charming little wayside station at Lidlington. This was the pre-modernised Bletchley - Bedford line and Lidlington still has old style lamps, the signal man is out in his Hi-Vis jacket shutting the large manual gates. The train is the 11.10 Bletchley - Bedford service on the 10th November 1979. Geoff Dowling.
50392
3rd July 1976
3rd July 1976 was clearly a warm summer's day judging by the attire of the ladies waiting on Lidlington station as Cravens class 105/2 DMU 50392-56145 runs in, forming a Bletchley-Bedford service. Photographer - Roy Burt. Gordon Edgar Collection.
21st April 1977
A Cravens 2-car DMU arrives at Bedford St Johns station, working in from Bletchley on 21 April 1977. The LNWR signal box was damaged by fire later in the year and was subsequently rebuilt using the top of a Midland Region type 15 design. Leading is thought to be M50392 which had a C3T overhaul at Derby Litchurch Lane dated 10th March 1977. Kevin Lane.
circa 1982
Class 105 D.M.U. vehicle M50392 pictured in the early 1980s, and appears to be alongside Bletchley depot. It was withdrawn from there in January 1981. Eddie Knorn adds: From memory it hit something at Watford Junction in 1980/81, leading to the damage seen here. The Class 105s on the branch (and Bedford - Bletchley line) were displaced by Class 104s from Autumn 1981, so were mostly withdrawn at that time. Note the second passenger window has three transfers on it: "FIRST", triangular NO SMOKING and a circular No Smoking below that. The "FIRST" is incorrect as this vehicle was second class only, but as this and the triangular label were "fired in" onto the glass, they could not be scraped off. I suspect that a broken window meant the use of any piece of glass that fitted. Curly42.
50393
3rd August 1974
A Cravens Class 105 twin departs from Fenny Stratford on 3 August 1974. The closest vehicle is a DMBS from the M50390-4 batch and likely M50393. Stuart Mackay Collection.
Unknown Date
A Cravens Class 105 with DMBS M50393 closest at Whittington station on the Midland 'Old Road' from Chesterfield to Sheffield - date unknown. Paul Redmond.
50394
Unknown Date
Cravens Class 105 DMBS 50394 awaits it's fate at Derby Litchurch Lane. It has the relatively rare combination of the LM Region headcode box and the stump for mounting a marker light on the roof dome, though no light was ever fitted, unique to the M50390 - 94 batch. It was withdrawn in the mid 1970s after a collision/derailment at Watford Junction that also wiped out M56147 (thanks to Eddie Knorn for info). Undated. Ian Francis.
50752
circa September 1957
A three-car Cravens DMU showing 50752 and presumably 59307 + 50785, at Darnall station. They were delivered new to Longsight depot in September 1957. This was taken from a Cravens advertisement, hence the cropping. Cravens.
2nd May 1965
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.
