Also may be wrong but I think there already was a 259 East Durham service at the time, if not there certainly was a 259 at one point.
There was a 259 service but was replaced. Believe i still have a timetable for the services.
I think the 59 is to cover for the Scarlet Band 58 which doesnt run on Sundays (although not the full route).
