Class 105 DMU at Chappel & Wakes Colne

2nd August 1976

Class 105 DMU set 54 arrives into Chappel & Wakes Colne station with a service from Sudbury on 2 August 1976. Alistair Ness.

Class 105 DMU at Sheringham

12th September 1977

Norwich Cravens DMU set 54 with E56126 closest at Sheringham on 12 September 1977 with the 11:15 to Norwich service. Robert Thomas.

Class 105 DMU at Saxmundham

8th February 1978

Running 'wrong line' at Saxmundham after a snow shower on Wednesday February 8th 1978 is Norwich based Cravens twin set no. 54 (E56436 + E51254) forming the 10.50 Lowestoft - Ipswich. Still retaining the twin headcode boxes, this original style of front end was rapidly disappearing by 1978 as cars went through Doncaster Works, reappearing with flush fronts.

Class 105 DMU at Lowestoft

27th April 1980

Having worked from Norwich, a Cravens Class 105 two-car set with Driving Motor Brake Second E51254 at the rear (set 54), was stood at Lowestoft on April 27th 1980. On the left is E51258 (set 59). Martyn Hilbert.

Class 104 DMU at March

6th September 1980

This four-car dmu formation on September 6, 1980 is headed by a Class 104 Birmingham RC&W Co driving trailer. I think I can identify this as E56187. It carries a Norwich set identity (54) and its partner is a class 105 Cravens vehicle, a 114 is on the back. The train is headed for Doncaster via Spalding, hence the train is crossing off the main (Peterborough) line into a branch platform. It probably originated at Great Yarmouth. This route closed in 1982. The large Whitemoor yard can be seen behind March North Junction signalbox. Jeremy Chapter.

Class 105 DMU at York

2nd July 1982

This pair of recently repainted dmus make a pleasant scene standing at the south end of York station on my visit of July 2nd 1982. Norwich based twin sets could turn up just about anywhere it seemed and here Cravens Class 105 set 54 formed of E56440 + E51279 is on the left having arrived as the 10.37 from Sheffield. Derby built set E50618 + E56190 has come in from Doncaster. Gerard Fletcher.

Class 105 DMU at Lowestoft

18th August 1983

Bufferstop scene at a tidy looking Lowestoft station on 18th August 1983. 31229 has arrived with the daily freight from Norwich, while the Cravens dmu, E51279 + E56440 (set 54) is awaiting departure as the 13.06 to Norwich. Gerard Fletcher.

Class 105 DMU at Cambridge

April 1984

Cravens set 54 and a 2-car Class 101 in Cambridge station south bay in April 1984. Mike Cooper.

Class 101 DMU at Cromer

14th August 1987

Norwich based 2 car Metro-Cammell set 54 (54369, 51230) rolls into the terminus station at Cromer, with a Norwich - Sheringham service, here the train will reverse before continuing its journey to Sheringham. 14th August 1987. Andrew J Crowther.

A Class 101 DMU set 54 (E51230 and presumably E54369) at Great Yarmouth in 1988. Graeme Phillips Collection.

Class 101 DMU at Doncaster

9th November 1990

54369 + 51230 at Doncaster on 9/11/90 with the 13:16 to Sleaford. Sparegang.

Class 101 DMU at Cambridge

Unknown
