Allocations

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 51633 during the unknown period are:

17/10/59 New to Chaddesden - stabled pending allocation
Dec-59 Transferred to 14A (Cricklewood)

Then the allocations for 59640 are:

17/07/83 Transferred to TS (Tyseley)
06/12/87 Withdrawn from TS (Tyseley)
