Unknown date
Two Cravens DMUs, at least the leading set has Rolls-Royce engines and hydraulic transmission (later becoming known as a Class 113). Seen at Chesterfield (Midland) station, looking north. Date unknown, only the leading car DMBS M51739 is still in green, so circa late 1960s, it was always allocated to Accrington depot. Graham Clark.
