A Cravens DMU pulls into Ewood Bridge on 27 May 1972, one week before closure, on a Bury Bolton Street service with Alf Davenport in the driving seat. When the line between Bury and Rawtenstall was singled three signal boxes remained to control level crossings but the distant signals for these became fixed and Alf was not impressed. "If a man needs a fixed distant he shouldn't be on the railway" he would say. Fair point Alf - proud of his craft to the end, even on this very run down shadow of a former main line. DMBS M50782 is closest, the DMCL is thought to be M50815 labelled NH135. Image courtesy of Mark Bartlett. WA Camwell Collection.
Set NH135 led by M50782 with M50815 at Rawtenstall is on the 12:05 Rawtenstall to Bury, on the last day of services on the Rossendale line before it closed - 3/6/1972. Robert Chilton.

One of a series of images credited to the LMR Mechanical & Electrical Engineers Department at Derby recording the aftermath of the collision on Singleton Bank (near Weeton) where a six-car DMU excursion struck the rear of a stationary ballast train on 16 July 1961. This is image 5, captioned "1st. & 2nd. diesel rail cars Nos. M.50808, M.50783 (after being moved from track)." M50783 is closest, both vehicles would be withdrawn. British Railways.

Manchester Victoria about 1967 with Cravens power-twin and 3 car BRCW unit arriving. The leading coach looks like M50784 which had AEC engine and standard gearbox. Good view of Victoria signal box as well. Edgehillsignallman@Flickr.
With the former Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway station at Blackburn as a backdrop, Cravens 105 two-car DMU with DMBS M50784 leading, was in the West facing bay platform with a service to Manchester Victoria, via Bolton on September 18th 1979. These distinctive power-twin units were associated with the ex LYR routes in Lancashire for nearly thirty years. Blackburn Station was the last of the large L&Y stations to remain intact with its overall roof and iron & glass canopies, all since replaced by modern structures in the name of progress.

Two Class 105 power twins are seen at Bott Lane - between Nelson and Colne - in early July 1977. The leading DMCL appears to be M50785. Michael Mensing.

Tyseley hybrid DMU set TS413 (Class 105 DMCL M50786, a Class 105 DTSL which looks like M56456 and a Class 101 DMBS) with a refurbished Class 116 on the rear is seen on a southbound ECS leaving Four Oaks on 30 May 1978. Michael Mensing.
Cravens DMS 50786 is part of a set with a Met-Camm TS and Gloucester DMBS at Birmingham New Street on May 8, 1980. See image 12859 for similar formation at the same place two years later. Steve Jones.
