Class 105 DMU at Oakleigh Park

12th September 1976

A Cravens two-car, with Class 141 (though we never called them that!) E56414 leading, is pictured on the up slow platform at Oakleigh Park with the retimed 12-28 to Kings Cross on September 12th 1976. As can be seen the overhead wires are up and the Class 313s were about to take over from the Cravens. Introduced in 1958, the Cravens sets were used on the Kings Cross inner surburban services for around 18 years - the Class 313s have been around now for 33 years! Oakleigh Park station is much improved - though the flowers are nice in this shot! emdjt42.

Class 105 DMU at Cambridge MPD

18th September 1977

Class 105 DTCL E56414 stands on the Cambridge MPD refuelling point on the 18th September 1977 attached to an unknown Class 105 DMBS. Judging by the Kings Cross destination blind I imagine she was still allocated to Finsbury Park MPD at this time although she had moved north to Norwich by 1980. Withdrawn in November 1982 she was scrapped at Snailwell during October 1983.
