Cravens
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cravens Railway Carriage and Wagon Company Limited was a railway car builder in Sheffield, England and supplier of the London Underground A60 Stock; and diesel multiple units and electric multiple units to British Railways. The company folded after 1964 after the decline of the rolling stock market.
One of its last orders, in 1963, was of 55 mainline carriages, similar to the British Railways Mark 1 design, for the Irish railway company Coras Iompair Eireann which saw long service until 2007 and some of which are preserved by the Railway Preservation Society of Ireland.
Craven trains are preserved by the Craven Heritage Train group.
One carriage built by Cravens for the Metropolitan Railway in 1900 is preserved on the Bluebell Railway in Sussex.
