50794
14th February 1981
Plenty of locals have turned out to greet the last BR train to traverse the line from Bury to Rawtenstall, 'The Rossendale Farewell' Railtour, from Manchester Victoria on February 14th 1981. This was the scene at Ramsbottom, at around 1.30pm on the outward journey, as the six-car DMU set paused for the level crossing gates to be opened by the train crew. Cravens Class 105 M50794 brings up the rear, the other vehicles were 59207, 50761 and M50453, M59161, M50505. The Newton Heath allocated Cravens DMU's were frequent visitors to the route until the regular passenger services ceased on June 3rd 1972. Martyn Hilbert.
5th July 1981
An eight-car DMU formation at Heysham Moss sometime in 1981, noted as an ex-Nelson to Heysham working (Rochdale is on the destination blind. Leading is a 105/104/105 - closest appears to be 50794 so its partners are presumably 59207 + 50761. The next three-car appears to be a 108 with two white-stripe 104s, then an unidentified two-car on the rear. Update: This is now thought to be 50794 + 59207 + M50761 / 50944 + 59178 + 50531 / 50499 + 50468 which would return with the 1P90 12:15 Heysham Harbour-Accrington relief on 5th July 1981, see https://www.flickr.com/photos/psrp/50894325502/. For that working see image 30023 on this website. Stuart Mackay Collection.

circa March 1958
The interior of a Cravens vehicle, Derby Works negative 58/238. This was from a three-car photographed circa March 1958. It has a toilet at the rear left so it is the DMCL or the TSL, the floor hatches suggest it is the power car M50800. British Railways.
50801
Unknown Date
A three-car Cravens DMU in Matlock Bath station, date unknown. The DMCL closest appears to be M50801 and has Manchester on the destination blind. Stuart Mackay Collection.
25th July 1977
Under a threatening sky, a Cravens Class 105 Power-Twin 2-car DMU with DMCL M50801 leading, was stood at Bamber Bridge with a Colne to Preston service on July 25th 1977. The Power-Twin Class 105 fleet allocated to Newton Heath Depot were the mainstay of services in East Lancashire during the 1970's. Martyn Hilbert.
27th January 1979
On a bright Winter day, A Cravens Class 105 power-twin with Driving Motor Composite Lavatory M50801 at the rear, was stood at Bamber Bridge with a Preston to Colne service on January 27th 1979. On that cold day that Cravens would have no doubt been warm on the inside, complete with its oily/diesel smell aroma. What price now a ride to Colne in first class with a view of the line through the rear cab? Martyn Hilbert.
