One of the exhibits at the Crewe Works Open Day on September 22nd 1979, Test Coach Iris (RDB975010) was in the red/blue livery of the Railway Technical Centre at Derby. Built in 1956 as one of a pair of single units, 79900 was withdrawn from passenger service in 1967 and passed into departmental use. Martyn Hilbert.
22nd September 1979
At Crewe open day on 22nd September 1979 Iris, the test coach was present. The unit was one of two that first saw service on the Banbury (Merton Street) to Buckingham trains, originally as M79900. Iris has become RDB 975010 and has "Train Control Group Research & Development Division, Derby" lettered down her sides. Happily the life extension as a test vehicle has seen Iris preserved.

29th November 1980
Former Derby Lightweight DTCL DB975014 is sandwiched between a BR Mk.I catering vehicle and a Swindon 'Intercity' power car at the Mayer Newman scrapyard at Snailwell on November 29th 1980. It appears to have blacked out windows and an unusual style of number. Apparently after withdrawal in 1967 it (along with similar car DB975013), was used as Staff Mess coaches. A contemporary report at the time (Pennine Railway Society who visited Ely in November 1980), suggested that DB975014 was the last remaining original BR Green liveried DMU car on BR. There seems to be some mystery with this particular car, as DB975013 appears in some Ian Allan DMU books under 'Departmentals' in the early 1970's, however there is no reference to DB975014. However, according to the website 'Departmentals.com' the car had spells at Dundee and Edinburgh Craigentinny Depots as a Staff Mess facility. Martyn Hilbert.
