A tidy-looking Cravens Class 105 two-car DMU, Norwich Depot allocated set 38, with Driving Motor Brake Second (DMBS) E51292, stabled at Norwich station between duties on April 27th 1980. The set was coupled to another Class 105 two-car set. In the centre road was a BRCW Class 104, set 83, with another Cravens set alongside in the platform. Period details to the right of the Cravens are BRUTE trolleys, a blue/grey Mk.I coach and the end of a former Blue Spot Fish Van/SPV Van in use as an internal user vehicle at Norwich station.

Cravens in the Capital. Liverpool Street 12/09/86. By late 1986 the class 105 Cravens built 2-car DMU fleet was in rapid decline with only a handful of operational sets in passenger service. Several Anglia Region examples had been down graded for parcels train use with seating removed and reclassified as DPU's (Diesel Parcel Units). Seen here in London Liverpool Street station one such example a Cambridge allocated 2-car DPU set is seen waiting departure with 4H04 the 16.10 Parcels service to Cambridge. The train was booked one intermediate call at Harlow Town and was due into Cambridge at 17.33, no doubt a lively run on the mainline for the old girl. Closest is 51293, the only one of the parcel vehicles not to have the top lamp position on the dome. Adrian Nicholls.

E51293 in Whitemoor circa 1989. E51293 was renumbered to 55944 but the number never carried. It was moved to Snailwell in December 1991. Nicholas Youngman Collection.
At the one-time Cromer Beach terminus of the Midland & Great Northern Joint Railway (M&GNJR), a Cravens Class 105 two-car DMU, formed of cars E51294 & M56114 had arrived from Norwich on April 29th 1980. The driver is changing ends for the run to the small terminus at Sheringham. The station at Cromer had just one platform face in use, the station being surrounded by empty and redundant railway land, a legacy from the days when the station here handled heavy Summer holiday traffic from the North and the Midlands via the now closed M&GNJR. Martyn Hilbert.

Getting a long way from its home depot is Norwich based class 105 'Cravens' set no.39 (51294+54436) arriving at Worksop with train 2B16 the 12.18 Lincoln Central to Sheffield Midland on 18/09/85. Adrian Nicholls.
Set 532 is a hybrid set seen at Paisley Gilmour Street, consisting of a Class 105 DMBS (51294), a 107 TS (59796) and a 120 DMS (53669). 1986. Andrew McConnell.
Class 105 DMBS on Works sometime in 1979. There are panels removed and upturned seats inside, the label in the passenger read 'To Doncaster Works' so this is presumably Doncaster. Stuart Mackay Collection.
Many people disliked the Cravens Class 105s intensely because of their noisy ride. To me this just added to the 'experience'. To get a Cravens twin with the needle off the clock (over 70mph) was exhilarating to say the least and also quite commonplace. Here Norwich set no. 47 (E51295 + E56429) awaits its next duty on September 9th 1981. Gerard Fletcher.
