The vehicle is mentioned in the following images:

DMU

Date: 5th November 1979

Birmingham Railway Carriage and Wagon Co. units 50560 - 59221 - 50561 forming the 10:10 Ely to Norwich service entering Brandon station, 5th November 1979. Gordon Edgar.

DMU

Date: 28th March 1980

Set number: 86

This is set 86 comprising E50590, E59221 and at the rear out of frame E50583. The train is the 17.23 Peterborough - Norwich of Friday 28th March 1980 which was pretty much an all stations affair I seem to recall. It is seen arriving at a rather wet March station. Gerard Fletcher.
