Departmental Class 105 Cravens DMU York 18th October 1988

A Driver Training / Route Learner departmental Cravens DMU stands in one of the bays at the north end of York station. I didn't record the numbers but the 'LW' on the front by the buffers narrows it down to one of three pairs from 977123 -126 or 977453-4. Hopefully some DMU detectives may be able to pinpoint which set. The excellent links below give a lot of information about the Cravens sets that were converted to departmental use during the 80s with some continuing until 1990 a good two years after they were finally withdrawn from passenger use.
