25th August 1984
The Newton Heath allocated Gloucester/Cravens Class 100/105 twin set, formed of cars 53355 & 53812 and the last operational cars of their respective types that were asbestos free, were tagged onto the rear of a Manchester Victoria to Blackpool North service seen calling at Leyland on August 25th 1984. Martyn Hilbert.
23rd September 1984
The Cravens/Gloucester Class 105/100 hybrid DMU formed of cars M53812 & M53355 was emerging from the Steamport running line and onto the BR connection at Windsor Road Southport on September 23rd 1984. The unit was running a shuttle service to and from Southport Station during a joint BR/Steamport open day. The Gloucester/Cravens twin set were the last two servicable non-asbestos types of their respective classes paired together at Newton Heath Depot. The Sheffield built Cravens machines had a long association with the various lines around Lancashire, and this was the end of an era. After withdrawal the unit was to become part of the National Collection at York, but whilst in store at Crewe South the DMU was vandalised beyond repair, and was subsequently scrapped. The land visible behind the DMU once formed part of the Southport Goods Yard complex and was also the original route of the West Lancashire Railway from Preston to its small terminus at Kensington Road. Martyn Hilbert.

23rd March 1986
A gathering of First Generation DMU's at Croft Street Sidings at Preston on March 23rd 1986. Surrounded by Class 104's (left), 108s (behind) and Class 127's (right), the Cravens/Gloucester Class 105/100 hybrid two-car set formed of cars M53812 & M53355 had been working Preston to Ormskirk services the previous day. The odd couple had been formed when the pair of cars were the last operational examples of their respective types that were asbestos free. When finally withdrawn from service in 1989, the unit was stored at Crewe South pending a move to the NRM, but was damaged beyond economic repair in a vandalism attack. The unit was subsequently scrapped by Berry's of Leicester. Martyn Hilbert.

On an overcast April 5th 1986 the Cravens/Gloucester twin formed of cars M53812 & M53355 accelerates away from Midge Hall whilst working the 16.07 Ormskirk to Preston. The odd pairing was due to these two cars being the last serviceable asbestos-free examples of their respective classes. Martyn Hilbert.

A brief burst of sunlight on an otherwise dull day illuminates the Cravens/Gloucester Twin, as it departs from Croston with the well-patronised 11.10 Ormskirk to Preston service on April 6th 1986.

The unit was earmarked for the National Collection at the NRM, but following withdrawal the DMU was vandalised beyond repair at Crewe South and was sadly scrapped. Martyn Hilbert.

Something i have learnt today about these Cravens units is that they have the identical side profile, the same windows and doors to MK1 coaching stock! Entrusted to working the days Stockport-Stalybridge shuttle services, standing in Stockport's platform 3a is a hybrid unit that had a bit of a following around the Manchester area, it comprised of a 1958 built Cravens class 105 DMCL (M53812) and a 1957 Gloucester built class 100 DMBS (M53355), both cars were asbestos free which was the reason they were the last of their class in service, they were withdrawn towards the end of 1988. 9th January 1988.
