The vehicle is mentioned in the following images:
Date: 1st November 1975
The 12:10 to Bedford St Johns sits in the platform at Bletchley station on 1 November 1975 formed of Cravens vehicles M56146 + M50391. Robert Thomas.
Date: 14th February 1981
With the trademark chimneys of the London Brick Company smoking in the background 56148 and 50391 are approaching their stop at Ridgmont on the Bletchley - Bedford line on 14/02/1981. Just by the chap walking onto the platform is the lever frame for the signals and crossing, this was moved here in 1934 as a staff economy measure and it allowed the signalman to open and shut the gates and attend to booking tickets, the instruments are inside the bay windowed booking hall.
