The London Midland Region didn't publish trailer car details until late in 1968. Although not 100% reliable, if it is assumed that the trailers remained with the same power cars, the allocations for 51865 during the unknown period are:

01/09/60 | Transferred to | 30A (Stratford) | |
3w/e 06/05/61 | Stored | Marylebone | |
4w/e 01/07/61 | Transfer | 14F (Marylebone) | |
Sep-63 | Depot code change | 1D |
Then the allocations for 59727 are:
Oct-88 | Transferred to | BY (Bletchley) | |
23/12/91 | Withdrawn from | BY (Bletchley) NXXZ |
