1966
A Rolls Royce Cravens set (Class 112) at Southport in 1966. David Faircloth.
1st October 1966
A six-car DMU formation in Blackpool North station on 1 October 1966. Closest is a two-car Cravens, the crest on the non-brake vehicle suggests this is a power car (and there is a hint of an exhaust on the roof by the pillar). A Cravens power car without any fillers on the no.2 bodyside means it is a Rolls-Royce powered vehicle. Alan Grange.
3rd December 1966
A Cravens unit (Class 105 or 112?) at Helmshore railway station on the day of closure, 03/12/66. The headboard reads "The Last Train, Accrington - Bury - Accrington, Saturday Dec. 3rd 1966". DH Dyson.
20th June 1967
One of the Rolls-Royce powered Cravens DMUs at Garstang & Catterall station on 20 June 1967. George Woods.
28th April 1968
Two Rolls-Royce powered Cravens sets seen at Entwistle on 28/4/68, one with mechanical transmission (Class 112) and one with hydraulic transmission (Class 113, on the right). Accrington is thought to have just one of the former at this time (51704/51729), the other sets were now at Cricklewood and this set would move there in June. George Woods.
1969
A row of condemned Rolls-Royce powered Cravens cars at Wymondham in 1969. There are fifteen vehicles visible, M51684 being the closest. It was still in green, but more than half the others are in blue, with a variety of yellow end styles - for example the second vehicle has a yellow panel, the fourth has yellow cab doors. These would have been withdrawn from Cricklewood in November 1968, the vehicle seeing just nine years in traffic. They would be cut by Kings at Wymondham. Stuart Mackay Collection.
15th February 1982
Class 112 DMBS 51692 at BSC Shotton on 15 February 1982. It had been bought, along with 51691, from Birds at Long Marston in the early 1970s for use as permanent way vehicles at the steelworks, and they would be painted into a grey livery. It looks like it had been out of use for some time in this image, and is believed to have been cut up on site at some point over the next couple of years. Steve Large.
