April 1977
A Gloucester RC&W dmu at Lowestoft in April 1977. Waiting to leave with a train to Ipswich at around 5pm; even in 1977, this class of dmu was a rarity. Tony Watson.
23rd July 1977
The crew change ends at Spalding, they will depart with the 13:05 service to Peterborough, 23 July 1977. So what has happened around the destination blind on E56448? My guess is that it was leaking and an attempt was made to seal it with a water based sealant, which was then out in the rain at speed before it had properly set.

10th March 1979
Norwich-allocated Cravens Class 105 DMU set 48 in Yarmouth Vauxhall station with the 14:24 to Norwich on 10 March 1979. The DMBS (closest) is unknown, the DTC is E56467. Michael Mensing.
10th March 1979
Norwich-allocated Cravens Class 105 DMU set 48 in Brundall station with the 14:24 Yarmouth to Norwich on 10 March 1979. The DMBS (closest) is unknown, the DTC is E56467. Michael Mensing.
24th March 1984
A Class 105 Cravens 2-car diesel unit is seen departing Manningtree bound for Harwich on 24 March 1984. The set number appears to be 48 so the carriages may have been E54470 (leading) and E51291 which were new in 1959 and 1958 respectively. Both of these would be withdrawn a few months after the photo was taken. New signals have been put in place on a tall gantry, in readiness for electrification of the line which was more obviously under way a couple of miles towards London. Jeremy Chapter.
