06/06/59 New to Chaddesden - stored pending allocation (although on lists as new to 14A)
4w/e 30/01/60 Transferred to 14A (Cricklewood)

Then the allocations for 59590 are:

17/07/83 Transferred to TS (Tyseley)
05/10/92 Withdrawn from TS (Tyseley) RFXX

The vehicle is mentioned in the following images:

DMU

Date: circa June 1959

An official image (Derby Works negative 59/459) of 51594 and 59620, presumably with 59590 and 51593 at Rushton station on the Churnet Valley Line circa June 1959. British Railways.

DMU

Date: circa June 1959

An official image (Derby Works negative 59/460) of 51594 and 59620, presumably with 59590 and 51593 at Rudyard Lake on the Churnet Valley Line circa June 1959. British Railways.

DMU

Date: summer 1983

This Class 127 (51612 + 59590 + 51596) in Cricklewood station in the summer of 1983 had been given a thorough clean, service and the paintwork touched up at Cricklewood depot. Apparently either the Greek Railways or a private line in Greece needed some new passenger trains at the time these were due to be withdrawn. The set then made a number of trial runs with various Greek officials onboard. Sadly nothing came of the affair. Note the white gutter the length of the train.
